[Systems] [Sugar-devel] Broken ASLO mirrors

[Sam P.]

Hi James,

I tried downloading the file from my mirror (sgp1.old.aslo.cf) and it
worked a charm.  The Arrnet http mirror is more than 1 month old!  Maybe
change your code (just for this run) to use the address of my mirror
instead of download.sugarlabs.org so you don't get arrnet. Stats (now
correct!) are here: http://mirrors.sugarlabs.org

+bernie, I thought mirrorbrain managed this stuff :(
