[olug] Sorry about the slow website

[Eric Penne]

I think I may be to blame.  I was hosting a 300MB iso image in my users
directory for use by the developers of the project.  We were looking
for additional mirrors for our project and had quite a few.  I thought
that the additional mirrors would relieve olug.org of the bandwidth if
we got slashdotted.  Maybe not.  2 of the developers wrote a nice
article on newsforge and then submitted the newsforge article link to
slashdot.  They were hoping that the newsforge link would weed out most
of the "download because I have bandwidth" people.  This happened
Saturday morning and I haven't been able to see much of olug.org since.
 Looks like Brian got the OLUG list going again.

I hope it wasn't me and this was a hardware failure, but if not, I
apologize.

Eric
