Is there any need for redirect server?

Hi all, I´m trying to see if there is any need in the community for a redirect server? I suppose on many servers out there it is not wishful to download any packages and have noticed that many redirect servers are long gone offline and/or provide a very slow service as far as uploading and approving goes.

Just trying to measure the need to see if I can do something in this aspect.

Many thanks

Using redirect is useful because it send files faster than what the server can provide on default.

However, XC_GameEngine also use enhancement on this special feature as well.

Sorry if my question wasn´t too clear, but I´m measuring to see if the UT community is interested in "yet another" redirect server. What I´ve noticed setting up my UT game server is that there are not many redirect servers out there, and the ones that exist are very slow in approving any new uploads.

I´m willing to set one up for the community if people think there is a substancial need for it :)

Define redirect servers. Please. :???:
All we need are active AS servers to match the supply of AS maps released by mappers, because people aren't doing AS maps because AS servers are a low demand. I love Assault! ;)
PS: I didn't wish to be rude... I think I wasn't. :) But if redirect servers are useful, then I am on the train!

Oh that. Well there might be a few out there that want some but there is also some using UT-files' redirect as well.
