Hello,
I would like to apologize.
Earlier today, some mis-configured wget scripts of mine (mistaken
indiscriminant use of the -r flag) hammered both ftp.x.org and the
mirror site x.paracoda.com (at different times). I don't even want to
think about the amount of data I pulled down.
I am sorry. It was an honest mistake, and I will not repeat it.
