raz (and me but really raz did 99% of the work) has moved things from
ffbox0 to ffbox0-bg.

About monthly ffbox0 fees, if you want them refunded please submit
a refund request to the ffmpeg-devel ML (see similar ones on the ML
about refunding of travell costs). All refund requests should be easy
search, detect and discussable on the ML ...

If you wish to shutdown ffbox0 in 3 months, would you have time to
go over the other free server & hosting offers we had? It would make
sense for us probably to keep the number of servers we have available
non decreasing so we can move things "easily" in case future need
arises ...

Thanks alot for providing ffbox0 to FFmpeg, MPlayer, rtmpdump, ...
when it was needed
