This recall in my mind the title of a Goethe book, "Affinita' elettive",
in italiano.

I can temporarily resolve as you suggest: recreate a italian site, to
www.linux.it. In the future, in my announcements, I can to reference
directly danish SunSITE as primary site, concerning world wide download.

Beacause muLinux patches are not provided, I always upload whole arhives
very frequently, in the past. This will be very expensive for me, if
destinations do not re-act quickly.

My problem with www.linux.it is the twofold protocol involved. www.linux.it
sysadmin is a very cruel man: I have to upload tgz in a different ftp
location. This mean: I have to embed ftp:// urls directly in my web
page, in a non-relocatable way!

When you, from my page, click on "download", you can to browse a complete
http directory contains all you need, with no release-number dependencies.
www.linux.it sysadmin avoid this, for obscure reasons (a tipical Debian
paranoid).

If I restructure muLinux site as md@linux.it wish, nobody can mirror
my site in a efficient way, without html rewriting. The current structure
of my HD site allow a pure file-to-file copy, without problems.

Ciao,
Michele
