tzdata mirror no longer found (in tz-link.htm)
I noticed that tz-link.htm file currently (as of the version in tzcode2009h.tar.gz) includes a link labeled "smaller HTTP mirror" to http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/timezone However, when I follow that link, the resulting page does not actually contain any timezone-related files -- and in fact after looking around a bit I didn't see any indication that the site still contains a separate mirror for the "upstream" timezone database. (Using the provided search box to search for the word "tzdata" returned only links related to the CentOS mirror that is hosted on the site.) On a separate-but-related topic: I'm not sure how the http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm web page is normally maintained, but I noticed that while the tzcode2009h file's version of the file contains a version stamp of "8.19", the version posted on twinsun is only "8.15". I mention this especially because the page is referenced in many places as the "home URL" of the timezone database project, so it seems like it would be worth trying to keep it as up-to-date as possible.... (The tz-arts.htm file on the twinsun site is also a few revions behind the current tzcode version, for what it's worth.) Thanks.
