[Project_owners] New downloads.mozdev.org features

[Douglas E. Warner]

New features have arrived at downloads.mozdev.org (D.MD.o). I'll just 
enumerate them to save space:

1) Redirect users to their closest mirror (bug#2807)
   You can check your closest mirror (and list of other available mirrors) by 
visiting the following link: http://mirrors.mozdev.org/ip-check.html. You 
will be redirected to your closest mirror automatically; no need to select it 
from the list when you download a file. 

2) Providing downloads for recently uploaded files directly from D.MD.o 
(bug#17900)
   This makes it much easier for project owners to distribute test packages 
and get critical updates out to their users.
   For regular file releses we ask that you post your download file several 
hours (at least 4 hours) before you announce your new file or post an updated 
updates.rdf file. This will ensure that your new file has a chance to be 
distributed to as many mirrors as possible. 

3) Additional download statistics - mirrors.mozdev.org has been updated with 
new stats that show the number of downloads from our mirrors in the past 30 
days by mirror (http://mirrors.mozdev.org/stats-mirror.html) and by region 
(http://mirrors.mozdev.org/stats-region.html).

We hope that everyone can make good use of these new features. As always, feel 
free to report bugs in our bugzilla instance if you encounter any problems.
