As Aaron says, they were taken out of service quite a while ago
(I don't remember exactly, but it was probably on the order of
8-10 months ago).  But, it wasn't quite lack of interest (which was
part of it but not the biggest thing), but rather that we don't
really have the bandwidth to be hosting mirrors.  We only have
1MB of bandwidth, which is more than enough for everything
else we do, but for mirrors, it really isn't enough, especially
when there are much better mirrors available.  For you, Liyun,
I'd suggest trying ibiblio.org since that's hosted on campus
at UNC.

Cheers,
Tanner
