Heh, yeah. I changed the links. Modevia has made no requirements of us. I branded the home page and used a modevia.com subdomain out of thankfulness. Direct links as of now still promote modevia in the url. If we as a group decide it is appropriate, perhaps a small blurb on the download page would be sufficient. I'm not real anxious to get into endorsements, but I do think nominal appreciation of service rendered is important.
ok, no pb then. I also think it is important to thank modevia appropriately because the service is great (and the download speeds are great too... if only I could compile inkscape to add some new stuff there ;-) ). I'll be for a replacement of the Development part of the downloads page by a link to modevia, with a logo.
Agreed, I don't think it'd be a problem to give an acknowledgement on the download page.
Also, another thought is if we could allow people to set up additional mirrors. This'd both take a bit of the load off modevia, and reduce the risk we'd face if suddenly modevia become temporarily (or permanently) unavailable. Probably this would be as simple as an ssh'd rsync.
