My DSL line (where busybox.net is living) is currently
struggling a bit under the load. To address this, I'm trying to
make arrangements to get busybox.net co-located directly at an ISP
belonging to a friend of mine.
<a href="http://www.codepoet.org/~markw">Mark Whitley</a> (author
of busybox sed, cut, and grep) has donated his <a
href="http://www.netwinder.org/">NetWinder</a> computer
for hosting busybox.net and uclibc.org on. Once the system is
co-located, that should completely eliminate the current
speed problems. Hopefully, too, we can get some mirror sites set
up soon, to help distribute to load a bit. Of course, all plans
are subject to change (i.e. if it costs way too much, for example).
Busybox.net is currently hosted on my home server, at the end of a

Since some people expressed concern over BusyBox donations, let me
assure you that no one is getting rich here. All BusyBox and
uClibc donations will be spent paying for bandwidth and needed
hardware upgrades. For example, Mark's NetWinder currently has
just 64Meg of memory. As demonstrated when google spidered the site
the other day, 64 Megs in not enough, so I'm going to be ordering
256Megs of ram and a larger hard drive for the box today. So far,
donations received have been sufficient to cover almost all
expenses. In the future, we may have co-location fees to worry
about, but for now we are ok.
A <b>HUGE thank-you</b> goes out to everyone that has
contributed!

busybox.net running for the time being. I'll keep you posted if
that changes.
