</div>Hi,<br>
recently I've noticed serious problems in downloading some sources:<br>
- sourceforge mirrors often give timeouts;<br>
- some upstream projects believe to be smart changing web address from<br>
time to time, so some DOWNLOAD= lines are not valid anymore.<br>
- few of them use 'https://' so they cannot be downloaded with a simple<br>
'wget'.<br>
As soon as possible I intend to verify all package sources' availability<br>
to have a complete view, so I can tell which are related packages.<br>
<br>
I wonder if hosting some 'problematic' sources on <a href="http://slackbuilds.org" target="_blank">slackbuilds.org</a> (or on<br>
another correlative website), at least, would be workable.<br>
I suppose it is not possible to host _all_ of source files (as e.g.<br>
Gentoo does), to maintain continuity and to prevent broken links, is it?<br>
