There was one, in my room, on the campus network during the course of
the year.  At the beginning of the summer I left and disconnected the
machine.  Currently I have no plans to restore the mirror, since it did
not seem to be actively used by more than a couple of individuals (if
this is not the case, however, please let me know and I will
reconsider).  MIT, PSU, UMich, UDel, etc all have mirrors with fairly
fast connections, so consider them for now.

I had notified the primary mirror administrators about the disconnection
of my mirror, but it appears that for whatever reason the entry was not
removed in time for woody's release unfortunately.

Good luck with the new system and sorry for the inconvenience.
