Hi,

Here is an email from Jo-Philipp about the recent download server outage:

---- forwarded message ----

yesterday, on Monday the 23rd around 20:00 UTC, the primary download
server downloads.openwrt.org (mirror-02.infra.openwrt.org) experienced
total connectivity loss which lasted until approx. Tuesday, 24th 11:00 UTC.

The reason for the downtime was, according to our hosting provider, a
hardware failure of the machine serving the download repositories.

The server has been replaced now and is back on-line. Additionally we're
still in the process of acquiring CDN coverage to avoid such situations
in the future (thanks, Paul).

Until then, I'd like to use the opportunity to point to our mirrors [1]
which you can use to download OpenWrt binaries in case the main download
server is unavailable.


Please excuse the inconvenience and troubles caused.


Kind regards,
Jo-Philipp Wich
