Dfold offers the ability to run an update server that clients can then aim to. People who still do dfold have probably noticed their machines take a while to actually get the update.

I can run a mirror for the team, which would mean members who choose to use it would not have to be in a pool with everyone else trying to connect.

Mark in the poll whether you are or not, and also tell me what client versions you use, so that I can tell the update server to grab those versions. In addition, say how many clients you have.

It would certainly help for those few of us running dfold

Whenever there's an update, there always seems to be at least one machine I end up having to update manually

So if you can be bothered to do it Scott, it would be much appreciated.

Most of my clients are OS X plus one or two Windows XP boxes.

I'll get it working before the next protein update.
Please bump this thread at least every week to remind me until I get it done, or you are guaranteed that I'll forget.

If it's useful to someone, and I can do it without taxing the servers, why not?
It'll be slower then the normal DF servers, but the updates will work. If I remember to set it up, of course.
