I know next to nothing about how the whole system of sources works, still I can help if I know how. But I do not remember anybody saying: 'hey guys, we have this and this problem that causes the sources are down every now and then.' Yet we see it happening. You may think it's a question of money (you mentioned it is for free). It's not. There are many projects out, totally for free, but reliable. When I do something it must be reliable, or it's worth criticizing. Ruda
