Hello... I'm an Italian Linux usera and "Fedora lover", I follow and appreciate very much the work you guys are doing to keep the distro at top level... I'd like to make you notice a thing, maybe you can't see it because you're not Italian... I had to download the cd isos this week so I went to look for some italian mirrors and I found that the one of ngi is RESTRICTED!... http://fedora.ngi.it/ redirects to http://gaming.ngi.it/mirror_maintenance/ where you find this notice: "Dear user, our mirrors are currently available only for users connecting from NGI's IP addresses." Currently? To me it's an excuse: it's been at least months of this situation lasting... I took a look and discovered the same page just some months ago, but I didn't write to you to report this. I'm doing it now to ask you to think about and maybe reconsider their presence in Fedora mirrirs page because actually theirs is NOT a mirror. It's not public as you can see! I personally dislike when one tries to publicize itsself offering a service that actually isn't there. What's more, using free software communities... Thanks for the attention, anyway...

Hi, i'm italian too, i'm not an NGI customer but i don't see the point in taking any action against them, because i don't think that excluding them from the mirrors list would make any difference for the better.

Maybe we could "advice" them to declare clearly that their mirror is only for they customers, as it is probably a plus to their customer and in this way thay are able to give them a better download experience ...
