the other benefit to theirs is it does support the ftp protocol in addition
to http.
Let me know if anyone has issues with this change.
Thanks,

I think we should still work towards load balancing. The OSUOSL service has a more robust bandwidth within their rack networking. I'm not as worried about the time delay, on big releases this will help reduce the load on the primary machine, which will keep the other services uninterrupted. It's really about public facing downloads, for internal builds etc projects should still just rely on the main server. Normal users will not know to click the alternate (not QGIS.org can do their load balancing on their server if we tell them the other server address).
No issue, with mentioning it on the pages, so that people know an alternate link is available.
