I started trying to track down the owners this morning. I managed to send email to 3 of them based on their I network contacts. Google responded that they don't want mail on that address (wonder whether that's ARIN conforming).

The others I'm waiting for a reply and offered to help moving to bandersnatch. Lets wait how that turns out, maybe give it a few days now that there's a (seemingly) viable alternative to the existing setup.

I'm also pondering getting a view more international VMs under my control and set up mirrors in more places. I'll look into that in case the other mirrors go away.

b.pypi.python.org is run by MvL I think, and it's on GAE so it needed a special script and doesn't use pep381client. ----------------- Donald Stufft PGP: 0x6E3CBCE93372DCFA // 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA

I'm afraid I don't have contacts for the mirrors - it's not something I've been involved with. Richard On 12 April 2013 08:27, Christian Theune <ct@gocept.com> wrote:

g seems to have come back to life, yay!

I got a response from someone at the 'd' network (David Crowe) who says he isn't in touch with the Python community and doesn't know about the installation. Not sure how to follow up on this.

b seems to be a candidate for removal.
