Tuxfamily fell

This is a very sad new for me to tell you all. TuxFamily risked to collapse under the weight of the Geubuntu release. Here's part of what they wrote me in a mail:

http://stats.download.tuxfamily.org/geubuntu/

... ~ 11458.92 GB of data since the release.

On four days, this is about 271 Mbits/s of bandwidth
300 Mbits/s of data costs about 12000 EUROS a month in a good Tier2
carrier, so this is about 1600 EUROS for 4 days....
Our bandwidth provider is going to shut us down if we continue like
this.

Now this is a real big problem. They told me I had to find other mirrors too but since there has been such a bad scenario, I deleted the iso already from they're site. I don't want to harm them anymore than I already did. So now Geubuntu needs mirrors, a lot of mirrors. We now have another one offered by the new devl member Alyxander butwe need far more than just another single link.

Talking about it, PLEASE USE THE TORRENT. It costs nothing to be mantained and it is very fast and efficient. Use it and please once you finish downloading, seed it. If you can offer us a mirror, then please visit out forums and contact us. We're in a very critic situation right now.
