I went to SF when the new design of the LO download page "system" 
changed to where it pointed to my web page instead to the ISO version on 
the server.

Then there was some issues with the "process" of uploading to one 
server, then someone had to move it to a different one or a different 
folder setup one that server.  Depending on how busy the "assigned 
admin" was, it could take days or weeks for the file to be placed onto 
the mirrors when the "push to mirrors" cycle came.  For SF, I knew that 
within an hour, or less, my ISO file[s] would be ready for downloading.

Yes, sometimes it seems that I/users could use a better option then what 
SF is providing right now, with the last "downtime", but there seems to 
be no other free place where developers could place/host their "project" 
for free.  That really is true for files the size of a DVD ISO file.

"They" are looking into the possibility of a return of having a place 
for DVD developers to have their work hosted on the server system and 
have a place within the download page[s] for a DVD ISO file to show up, 
or change the existing page to show the TDF hosted DVD files.

We will see how that goes, in the future - near or not so near.

With the several day "down time" of parts of SF system, I have had no 
downloads of the ISO file after the 15th.  At that point I had 105 
downloads from SF of my 4.4.4 version of the LO NA-DVD .iso file. 
[LibreOffice North American Community DVD project's 4.4.4 DVD .iso 
file]  On the 8th, I had 30 downloads listed in one day.  This shows 
that there are some users that still want the NA-DVD project to 
continue.  So I will continue it, as I can, when I can, how I can.
