Thanks.  I still have a problem.

In Australia, and on sunjammer, a wget of
http://download.sugarlabs.org/activities/4315/words-21.xo is being 302
redirected to mirror.aarnet.net.au but fails with 404.

Now, I'm not sure if Gonzalo's link for words-21 is correct:
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities/Sugarlabs/0.102

This is hindering olpc-os-builder.  ;-)  I don't yet know how to
workaround it short of duplicating Gonzalo's activity list page.
