Need auto mirror for my archiso-live project

I'm going to need a mirror for my archiso-live project cause I can only have 200 downloads or so a day before its blocked.

here is my reason:
http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20090525#news

Since i was put on distrowatch this morning I have about 1400 views now.

But I'm going to need a up to date mirror that can 1000+ downloads a day before without it blocking access of it. Can anyone help me with this?

Yeah, a favorable notice on DistroWatch will definitely use up one's bandwidth. Have you considered setting up a torrent for the latest .iso? I would be happy to seed it in support.

Interesting. I was swapping emails about Arch and its derivatives over the weekend with Ladislav Bodnar, the maintainer of DistroWatch. Among other things, I sent him a link to the Arch-based Distros wikipage which I overhauled and cleaned up recently. See here:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch-based_Distros

I guess he tried out a few of the distros and posted yours on today's DistroWatch. He asked me what I thought of your distro, but I hadn't tried it out, so I didn't have much to say. Anyway, it is possible that I am sort of indirectly responsible for your bandwidth problems. Sorry about that

Cheers,
Luke Seubert

P.S. OK, I found the torrent link, but there are no seeders. If I can ftp that .iso from somewhere, I'll set myself up as a seeder for the file. I can give you 400 kb/s overnight and 50 during the day.

You can use torrents, but also sourceforge for example.

@dolby
I try sourceforge once. My project was kick off after 3 months i think.

@Iseubert
Thats ok. I never had 200+ downloads before. The folder of my iso was just blocked. I think my friend put limits on big files. I don't know if the limit is 200 a day or week or month.

I update my post with mirror links.

I hope this helps.

OK godane, I downloaded the .iso, verified it by md5sum, loaded it into Deluge, and I am seeding right now. I will jack up the bandwidth before I go to bed.

i only have 1000 gbyte free traffic (<50downloads/day), but i think i could seed via torrent (~4MB/s).
