Thanks for the report, John. I regularily run a link checker that
also covers our mirror sites. That is not as easy as it may seem
at first since some mirrors only provide local access within their
geography and removing them based on my testing from one place on
the planet would be premature.
That said, mirrors.laffeycomputer.com may indeed not be active
anymore. Let me include mirrormaster@laffey.biz, the documented
contact for that mirror.
mirrormaster@laffey.biz, would you mind letting us know about the
status of your GCC mirror site? Indeed I'm not able to access this
from any machine I am trying, always running into a timeout.
