please have a look at the original article:
http://video.indymedia.org/en/2007/04/837.shtml a working dowload url is
there. And hmm I don't see how the wrong url got into any of the feeds.
Maybe someone else knows.

well assuming that no video on video.indymedia.org this might not be a
problem. unless your provider might no be willing to host something like
indymedia.

a mirror currently needs about 200G of diskspace (currently 113GB are
used, so to have some space left) and you have to count with something
between 5 to 10 mbit. currently it might be less, however assuming that
some people might get a new cms online with some fancy stuff, bandwidth
usage might increase.
however it is also possible to only host a certain part of the content.

so conclusion: we're happy with any kind of mirroring we get, if you're
willing to host some stuff. please let us know, by mail or jump into irc
(irc.indymedia.org #ivdn). thanks!

well currently there isn't yet a setup to provide the videos by
torrents. maybe this will come with the updated cms. dunno, have a look
at the current discussion on this list.

if you have any contact to people over there willing to share there

which might the same for most users here.
