Not our fault! The Internet has problems from time to time -- you lucky
folks in Canada might not realize it, but most of the USA has been
engulfed in a terrible heat wave for the past three weeks, which is causing
even worse problems than occasional Internet disruptions :-)

No, there is presently no official mirror site. We have no control over
what other sites do, so you take your chances with them. That is not to
say that none of them does a good job, only that we simply do not know
and don't have the time to research it, nor to keep up with it on a daily
basis, which is what would be required.
