commons file server switched
Yesterday, Brion announced a switch of the file server for http://commons.wikimedia.org/ . Should enhance download of pictures for all wikimedia projects (as long as the picture is on common).

Commons is a wikimedia foundation project that aims to provide free multimedia materials. If you never browsed it, you should have a look at it RIGHT NOW.


I even got a shell script that grab the picture of the day and set it as my wallpaper :)

It is still slow, both on Commons and en.wikipedia. We need another server or two just for images.
