- I think www.gnuplot.info looks more "professional" than gnuplot.sf.net.

- The following link
        http://www.gnuplot.info/demo
  (notice the missing trailing slash) goes to:
	http://azog.bioinformatics.vt.edu:49280/demo/
  but not
	http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/demo

- I think the VT site should have index.html with an immediate
  redirection to www.gnuplot.info.

- It don't think the mirroring works correctly -- for example,
	http://www.gnuplot.info/download.html
  still announces 4.2.5 instead of 4.2.6:
	http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/download.html
  These problems are happening very often!

- What are proposals following from this discussion?
  A. Should www.gnuplot.info be an immediate redirect to sf.net?
     Would  www.gnuplot.info/demo/  still work correctly in that case?

  B. Could the mirroring of www.gnuplot.info be finally fixed so that it
     really works in 24 h intervals (or faster)?
     Would a move to another server in the world help?

  Any other possibility?
