From "David W. Hodgins"
Thanks. I noticed it when the mirror went down as I was downloading packages
when it happened, and that it was back within an hour or so.

I typically wait for it to be down for at least 12 hours before trying to contact
Ben as I'm aware there are automatic recovery procedures though they don't always
work, or things may require a forced restart.
