[WBEL-users] NCSU dropped the box

[Erik Williamson]

I think that someone posted here a while ago that that mirror was really 
out of date, maybe they're out of the game now - in fact:

[erik@homer tmp]$ ping ftp.opensourcemirrors.org
PING ftp.opensourcemirrors.org (216.139.255.69) 56(84) bytes of data.
 From hostway-austin-gw.customer.alter.net (157.130.152.78) icmp_seq=0

Destination Host Unreachable

Whether they're gone or out of date, I'd switch to another mirror.

Best,
Erik.
