Hello!
I've been trying the mirrors I know and a few I've only heard about. I
did indeed try that one. Same problem.

Is it possible that there are a lot of people at work updating their system=
s?

Next question: Would anyone know what's involved with setting up a
mirror? I am seriously considering talking to the people at the AWS
end of Amazon about renting sufficient space on their storage farm for
just such a function. And then yes following normal procedures to
announce it and not waste time here with that bit of news.
