For now, a slightly outdated LDraw.org can be reached via:

http://ldraw.peeron.com

CGI scripts have not been set up on the new server; Steve and Dan are
working on that.

On this site you can download the necessary LDraw install files and parts
updates.


Since ldraw.org is down for some weeks now, I guess it would be wise to
think about a working mirror site when ldraw.org is up again. Thus we could
prevent a lot of troubles the next time. I guess ldraw.org is too important
to stay without working mirrors, if I look at all the responses I received
because ldraw.org is down.
Mirrors would save us a lot of time in answering e-mails in fail cases ;-)

Yes, I agree 100%. Unfortunately, this outage seems to have caught us with
our pants down in that regard.

I've had to field a lot of email too ;-)

Steve and Dan are working out ideas for solutions to this. I don't know when
to expect more information, but we're aware of it and it's on the to-do list!

We're also working on a solution for a better website, designed from the
start to be more open to multiple contributors, instead of having to filter
submissions through me and therefore delaying the process. Getting rid of
the bottleneck is on the to-do too, and we have some volunteers to help. :-)
More on that later, too.
