Perhaps we need to mirror the bcprov.jar somewhere? Anyone have any
bright ideas?

Hi all,
we're starting to have a few issues with applications that link directly
to the BC jars and other artifacts such as webstart based applications
and I guess the odd ant script. The problem is there are now so many
that they are effectively DOS'ing our server.
If you have currently got an application which is downloading a jar or
other file directly from the BC web site please mirror the file locally
if you can - please leave the bandwidth for people who are trying to
pick up a release by hand.
Thanks for your co-operation.
Regards,
David
PS. Anyone interested in acting as a public mirror please drop me a
line.
