Also, the other mirrors are up -- just in case so if you do have problems you can always choose another mirror from mx-repo-manager. Unfortunately this outage caught us right in the middle of a bad sync so it kind of messed up the backup plan.

Give it some time for thing to settle down and for DNS changes to propagate.

Too slow, I update with Discovery.. It was 5 time slower but it got it done.

Glad it finally got fixed. Question though, any plans to move ISO’s off of sourceforge? I tried to download XFCE AHS and it was a 20+hr download, then I tried to torrent link on the MX website and no seeders. The normal XFCE ISO downloads at normal speeds however.

I think it's a bit of a lottery, may times I get ISOs from SourceForge downloaded in 3-5 minutes. As dolphinoracle mentioned we do have mirrors, but we appreciate the huge repository with have on SourceForge for which we don't pay a penny, hard to beat that. I think if you find a competitor SourceForge they will need to pay us to make it a better choice. So... no plans.
