[BJ Dierkes <wdierkes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

First of all, I would like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding.  With growth always comes growing pains.  To outline the issue, our primary 'official' download server [dl.iuscommunity.org] has been under high load the last two days do to an increase in traffic.  For that reason we have removed this server from the mirrorlist (meaning only manual access should hit this box) and have also moved dMirr (our mirror list server) services to a dedicated box.  

These changes should immediately resolve any timeout and lag issues being experienced.  We are planning on moving these services to more robust infrastructure within the coming months when we roll out some other software/services.

Please do not hesitate to contact us via this list, #iuscommunity or irc.freenode.net, or my email directly if you have any further issues.

In the meantime, '/pub/ius' has been disabled on dl.iuscommunity.org to reduce load on the server.  To manually pull down files (such as ius-release, etc) you can access from any of the downstream mirror servers here:
