Service Changes at Project Gutenberg

On Monday, June 15, we will be making some modifications to the official Project Gutenberg mirrors. We will be sunsetting the rsync mirror at aleph.pglaf.org (use gutenberg.pglaf.org instead), the gopher server hosted at gopher.pglaf.org, and the FTP server at gutenberg.pglaf.org. Other rsync and FTP mirrors are still available:
