I will try to work with Jesse in the next week or so to see
what we can
do to put a page up so that <http://downl
oad.fedoralegacy.org/...> will
go to such an information page. Currently, the dnsname
'download.fedoralegacy.org' appears to be an alias which
points to the
canonical name 'legacy.linux.duke.edu' (152.3.183.83), which
looks like
it indeed has been taken down. I believe the plan is to
have 'download.
fedoralegacy.org' point to a different server or virtual
server that can
serve up the informational web-page and won't go down for a
long while.

In addition to what someone else said about the planetmirror
mirror in
another message, I had heard that the fermilab ftp mirror
(of Batavia,
Illinois, USA) has no intention to go down any time soon.
The contact
there, Troy Dawson, kindly informed Jesse Keating that
fnal's mirror
has always been a full mirror of the legacy repository, and
pains were
taken to make sure it would remain there without losing any
data or
packages when the main repo went down.
Fermilab mirror:
ftp://linux21.fnal.gov/linux/legacy/
A mirror I have used in the past at Iowa State University
(Ames, Iowa,
USA) appears to still be up, but I have no idea what plans,
if any, they
have for keeping it around:
http
://rh-mirror.linux.iastate.edu/fedoralegacy/
ftp://rh-mirror.linux.iastate.edu/fedoralegacy/
More information about Iowa State's mirror, including
contact
information, appears to be on the web here:

I wish you luck, Nils.
