well, if you (jwe) want to pull from someone, that someone needs a
web-accessible archive. Using a public archive like the ones above
should provide a solution for someone with no access to a permanent
host -- As an example, I work from home and have a dynamic IP, and my
laptop is mostly powered off, so running a server from home is
problematic
