776313 - Please eliminate the redirect from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/releases from going to http://releases.mozilla.org

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Infrastructure & Operations :: Infrastructure: Other, task)

Description

[Justin Wood (:Callek)]

So we used to never redirect away from ftp.mozilla.org for SeaMonkey when people go to the releases directory with the ftp hostname. I request/suggest we go back to that setup.

The redirect is in place for other products, rightly. But SeaMonkey has low download numbers that ftp.m.o should be able to handle all the traffic that would normally end up here.

The mirror redirect here makes it harder to identify both when we push to mirrors and get an old version if necessary.

(If I filed in the wrong place, please move for me.)
