Needs other mirrors

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The Greek mirror took me over an hour before failing with a checksum mismatch. 
We need other mirrors in the US, UK, AU, and possibly JP. That should provide 
sufficient coverage. Also, I looked at old discussions and was surprised to 
learn that the choice of mirror was prompted by a request from a Cuban 
national. The mathematical tools in Pythonxy could be used to make 
cryptographic software. Given the stringent US laws about crypto exports to 
countries like Cuba, I would be inclined to consult a lawyer before bowing to 
the requests of such countries, given that they may in fact be agents of the 
government or military rather than civilians.

Hi,

Donations of space and BW for hosting ~1 gigabyte of data are most welcome!.

The mirror location is based on availability and accessibility, nothing more.

I will happily throw it up on my google docs if I can get it downloaded this 
century :)

Really, .2 KB/sec download is unacceptable...

Maybe you could look into hosting it at github. It's free for open-source 
projects although I'm not sure if application distributions (such as 
Python(x,y)) fall under their definition of an open-source project (you can 
always ask: support@github.com)...

Aha! Just noticed that my download jumped up to ~500KB/sec. Guess I was caught 
in one of the greek protests for a half-hour or so...
