The cleanup is complete.

I do this for getting only valid mirrors:

lynx -source http://tldp.org/mirrors.html > sourcefile
grep http sourcefile | grep -i ^'<li>' | cut -d "\"" -f4 - > mirrorlist

You can see that I'm not a programmer but I hope you get the general idea:
There are still some comments in the source HTML, but only valid mirrors 
as they appear in your browser when you point it to 
http://tldp.org/mirrors.html are put in the mirrorlist.  In the source 
HTML, these are on lines that contain the string "http" and start with 
the string "<li>".

We now have 238 mirrors that are doing fine.  I am still waiting for reply 
from the maintainers for the ones that are commented out in the HTML 
source (39 mirrors).

I hope you can do something with this, Saqib?

Tille.

I have Google Alerts set up to search on my name and alert me if it
shows up. Having contributed a HOWTO, mirrors of that show who is
mirroring TLDP. This one just came in:

http://docswell.berlios.de/docbytyp.php?DocsWell_Session=783e4903e009a3587e0323c5836e1daf&typ=3&by=&iter=5

Do you guys want me to drop an email on the list when one shows up?

Would other folks care to do the same? Of course, you may not want to
know where your writing has been. :-)
