Freesound now looking for mirrors!
The MTG is seeking mirrors for the Freesound project. The Freesound project’s user base has grown to nearly a half million users, and the bandwidth requirements of the site have exceeded the capacity of the Universitat Pompeu Fabra. Therefore, we are seeking help from other public institutions or private enterprises who have available server space and excess bandwidth. |
