This is a restriction on our WWW server. I double checked it before posting the
source.. These files are for local download only. I wouldn't classify it as a
mirror either. We don't announce the URL. People are redirected to it, without
knowing it at all. We could even block all access to this directory except for
the machine running Squid. I hope this solves the legal issues too. We do not
distribute these files, not even locally.

Not that I know of. We only put files with "unique" names in the redirector
directory. This is a manual job. I guess I shouldn't put my homepage (index.html)
in there :)

The point is that there are many mirrors around the world and our users tend
to visit them all.
