I was giving a make-up exam when the cs server went down, which made Wombat inaccessible. The server was down for several hours. This would be a disaster if it happened during the midterm or final (or contest) for the regular semester. Is it possible to mirror the download page, maybe on box?

That's unfortunate. I was hoping that the CS servers would have high enough uptime that wouldn't happen.

I should actually do that with the automatic updates, have a fall back or two. I could probably host one on Google Code and another on my personal site. That would give it at least two fall backs if something goes wrong. Hopefully I can have this up before the fall semester starts as it will require an update to the launcher itself (which I don't like doing as it doesn't auto-update).

Box?

Great! Box is a storage service available to everyone at IU (similar to dropbox):

Hosting also on Google Code should probably be good enough.
