Yes, but that still doesn't preclude using mirrors. Akamai goes down too.

Sent via private mail (I had previously noted it here https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5818#c18
and https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5818#c24 ). I also offered ssh access on the server box.

(Since July 10, 2008).
