[racket-dev] Connection issue with the "Infogroep" mirror

Ah, I suspected as much :) Probably somebody has forgotten to send the 
mail to the right person, our apologies for that.

I have made the changes, http://racket.infogroep.be should be back up.

As for the email: I'll send you an answer right away.

Glad to help,
Sam
