I'm thinking about setting up an automated on-demand
mirroring for BSD ports. Until that happens, I can
deal with some requests manually. Tell me more about
your distfile, if you want to.

As for stats, my hoster password-protects them, I'll
try to publish them though. You can get anywhere
from 0 downloads to 100-200 a day depending on many
things.
