No torrent yet, not very polished, this is not an official product or
anything, best effort, not supported by $EMPLOYER, low priority, judges'
decisions are final, close cover before striking, do not stare directly
into the sun, etc.:

As the blurb on the front page says:

"Most mirrors here are partial. Priority is given to i386 and amd64
platforms, ISOs, English, and the latest stable releases. There are
currently only a few packages and ports available here, with more planned."

There's a decided FreeBSD bias :-), but there's also a little bit of
Debian, Fedora, Knoppix, and OpenSolaris.

There's also a crude nightly IOS index of sorts generated:

Only HTTP and rsync are up right now; no torrent participation or FTP,
but you can at least grab the ISOs:

    http://mirrors.acsalaska.net/pub/Linux/ubuntu/CDs/releases/9.04/

... and some limited rsync access:

$ rsync rsync://mirrors.acsalaska.net/

freebsd FreeBSD releases and ISOs
freebsd-archive Selected contents from ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/
freebsd-ports FreeBSD ports tree, updated every ~24 hours
freebsd-src_6_3 FreeBSD RELENG_6_3 source tree, tracking -SECURITY
linux Linux releases and ISOs

It hasn't been tweaked to take any load yet; guess we'll find out how it
does! :-)
