Yes.  But I have fixed this.  In future use Indy-7.0

I think you should use a mirorring software like Mirror, Eclipt or
fmirror (look in freshmeat.net for URLs).  But I know little about
them since at one time I didn't have enough bandwidth to mirror things
and when I had it I already had a CD burner so I downloaded Iso-images.

However we need to be able to suggest a mirrorring client to Windows
users, preferently freeware.

Yes but ISO images are useless for people who don't have a CD burner.

It is because this is still additional work and the first release was
heavy enough.

Perhaps for second.
