I am trying to Download the entire Gutenberg Project ZIP-ISO. All the Canadian Mirrors I tried failed. Perhaps others can also try them and if it confirms my experience then maybe this situation can be corrected or the nonfunctional mirrors be removed from the list.

Thanks, Vijay. Yes, we do cull the mirrors periodically. Some are yo-yos (they come & go), so I try not to remove them as soon as there is an error report. For mirrors that are present but seem under-populated, check the timestamp in the "gutenberg.dcs" file in the main directory. It's updated weekly. If it's outdated, I try to notify the mirror site -- this is often an indication of a broken process, not a decision to stop mirroring. Yes, I know this is something that could all be automated. I think it's on our Webmaster's list for handling eventually. Please include specific details when you find sites that aren't responding, so we don't mistakenly remove the wrong mirror listing. -- Greg
