  Nobody mirrors getgnash.org that I'm aware of. The official site for
release tarballs is at ftp.gnu.org. Getgnash and gnashdev.org are the
same machine. They're sitting on a 3mb ATM connection, about all one can
get here in the boonies of Colorado for connectivity...

  Till I get buildbot thoroughly debugged and stabilized, I've been
having to do snapshots by hand, so they don't happen every day...
Buildbot currently puts it's binary builds at
http://www.gnashdev.org/builds/, I'll see about getting it to upload
source snapshots as well. I'm still trying to get buildbot to not have
any other issues so it actually completes all the builds on it's own.
It's getting closer, just not all the way yet.

  Hopefully once I get all this setup, it'll be stable enough to not
suck up so much time... which it sure has these last few weeks. I'm a
big believer in automating builds and testing though, it's worth the
work in the long run. I just wish I could talk somebody else into doing
it all so I can get more coding done. :-)
