I have a better idea. On the Devuan web site, on or near the upper right
corner, is a "DONATE NOW!" button. Donate to the Devuan team, let us
figure out what we spend it on. One of us has already suggested to me
that spending some of it on this Devuan mirror might be a good idea. I
haven't followed that up yet, too busy getting it up and running.

Another day or three and it should be operating as a Devuan mirror at
least. Rough calculation suggest it might take a little over a week to
copy everything from my old server to my new one, but that includes the
virtual world stuff, which is most of it. I plan on leaving the virtual
world stuff for last. That calculation assumes I'm running rsync with a
bandwidth limit, leaving most for actually using the thing. So in theory
I could halve that time.

Thanks again everyone.
