Arg! I need to apologise to Attila. I though he was the one who set up
the mirroring system and added www2 back in the dns since he's the one
who announced it.
I'm very sorry, and apologize again.

Maybe it's a bit extreme, but maybe we could start to use mplayerhq.eu
dns entry (owned by Roberto)?
Yes, it would suck if we would have to switch to that domain to get
things working, but what else can we do to avoid being dependant on
the will of ppl who don't have any more interest in the project?
