SF killed arch-live hosting

SF killed my project for no real reason. They say that they don't want distro on the site cause of space. Here is a project that takes alot of space a bandwidth:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/absolute-linux/

I'm tell you about this cause if there is a problem with my distro then there should be a bigger problem with Absolute Linux. I'm only doing this rant cause they didn't even give me a email for why they killed my hosting.

BTW, absolute linux use more space and 6 times the bandwidth that arch-live took up. (33gb bandwith a week for arch-live Vs 180gb+ a week for Absolute Linux.) Explain why there is a double standard with SF.

If anyone can help me with host that would be great.

PS The project maybe renamed to ZenArch. The idea is we have 2 apps for a task instead of one. One for low spec systems and one for higher end systems. We will be simple like zenwalk in that ZenArch will be for newbies. Almost everything will be setup for them to start learning archlinux.

EDIT: I decide to change back to arch-live has the distro's name. Only cause I think ZenArch would cause confusion.

Godane, I think this is a very worthwhile project and I hope you get hosted soon.
As for the name, I like the 'Arch' part but not the 'zen' part.
What can I say? I'm prejudiced.

I have found a new host with jeebusmoblie in irc.
http://arch-live.isawsome.net/

I have some modules there already. The iso will take longer to upload though. (About 5 hours for 505mb iso file.)

But if anyone wants to be a mirror host that would be of great help. (This way there is a backup mirror so everything is not lost again.)

I hope this helps.

Damn SF sucks, I love arch live project and it should continue. Good luck to you Godane.

I don't think you can be too hard on SF. After all, they provide, IMO, an excellent service to the open source community free of charge. It's too bad they cut you off, but I am glad you've found another host already. Keep up the great work! I think arch-live is an excellent project!
