I think I can understand why people would feel they need a "European"
server... but more important : they need to have the oportunity to
benefit from a reliable service not as centralised and dependant from a
specific vendor's policy as SourceForge is.

In my opinion, it's more important to host on a server where freedom is
really valued and which is developed in a cooperative way, than to host
it in France or Europe.

Anyway, we should definitely provide a backup solution ASAP even if the
primary server still resides in the US... even if each project manager
can use the nightly tarballs to backup its project, a global daily
backup would be safe and comfort everybody.
Sorry if such a mirroring is allready up and running ;)

My 2 cents,
