I didn't assume that. You mentioned that on ICQ yesterday.

That's because it seems that berlios does backups itself. So there's
no need for us to do backups too.

Why do you insist of placing the installers on sourceforge?

More than you might think. If you read the mailing list, you will find
a lot of mails telling "I've switched back to xxx for now".

I'm going nuts here. That's *exactly* what I never wanted. Now we have
our installers spread on _four_ servers!!! (tigris, berlios,
sourceforge and another mirror).
Please stop that right now. There's absolutely *no* reason to mirror
the installers for 1.1.7 again. Tigris.org can handle those downloads
well enough. So just leave it there alone.
What the hell is the point in uploading the installers to sourceforge
too? Why? Why?

You can't count the build time - that's done automatically while I can
drink a coffee, eat lunch or do something else.
