Monticello is a distributed versioning system, so it is highly redundant by definition. You can't really blame anybody else if a version your are interested in is not reachable. I usually copy important code into my local repository.
Well, on the other hand it is extremely bad publicity if the Squeak community's main source repository, written in Squeak, is extremely unreliable. How can one expect someone to switch to Squeak when the first thing is encountering it being unreliable?
I don't know what is hosted on source.squeakfoundation.org and who is maintaining it. www.squeaksource.com has been running pretty stable over the last few years and silently serving its 7.5+ GB of Monticello versions. Feel free to setup your own server, using your own hardware, bandwidth and time; it is a distributed versioning system after all. Lukas -- Lukas Renggli http://www.lukas-renggli.ch
