Dear friends,

after more than 10 years, ftp.leo.org has finally shut down its
public FTP service. The amount of mirrors has already been drastically
reduced in the last 2 years anyway. So from a peak time
of more than 150 mirrors and a peak throughput around 1 TB/day
the mirrors had been reduced to a selected handful.

Since there is no staff to care about it for a long while, the hardware
is failing and finally the LEO project itself became independent of
TU Muenchen and is concentrating on its most successful service
(the online dictionaries), we decided it is time to shut down ftp.leo.org
for good.
