Hi, when I tried to download Orbiter from http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/mirrors/alteaaerospace/base_mirror.html
Mirror 1 - Shows some security error (certificate expired?)
Mirror 2&3 - Shows GoDaddy page
Mirror 4 - Works as intended without any issues (torrent version seems to have better speeds, I'm seeding!)

Not a high priority bug, as Mirror 4 works without issue. Just posting here regarding Mirrors 1, 2 and 3.
 
I encountered the same with scenery download links while writing an installation guide: a security warning in Chrome when attempting to download the new Titan.cfg from Mirror1. Mirrors 2 and 3 are gone and Mirror 4 doesn't have the new Mars or Titan textures.

There is also no torrent file for new Mars, Titan or Mercury. If this is changed I will seed.
 
SSL certificate issues with Mirror 1 should be resolved now.

Hi all, I encounter issues with the first mirror. Clicking on any link (http/torrent) would result in the following error.

Mirror 2 and 3 are not working too. Only Doug's Altea Aerospace server seems to run fine. @dbeachy1 could you consider hosting the high-res Mercury texture, the latest Mars HRSC/MOC high-res texture, Antelop scenes and other stuffs available on the orbiter-radio server on your Altea Aerospace server too? Certain stuffs like the ones I mentioned are only available on Orbiter Radio server and not in your server. They are not in sync, it seems.

Thanks and happy holidays.

Hi, my DigitialOcean server doesn't have the free disk space to host large texture files. However, I'll let @Xyon know about the issues on the other mirrors. It looks like the orbiter.us domain expired.

I'll sort out the orbiter-radio mirror, but orbiter.us was someone else - though I'm not sure who.
 
Hi. I was running orbiter.us but due to financial issues I was not able to renew the domain name. It is down permanently.
 
Hi @Xyon, just a heads up that the texture HTTP downloads on mirror.orbiter-radio.uk are showing a certificate error again. LetsEncrypt certificate expired on Sep 22. It's a bit of a bother since that is now the only apparent source for the newer high-res Mercury, Mars, and Titan textures. (It would be really nice to have torrent downloads for those packages, too...)

Thanks; this is resolved now.
