I had not considered the case where users were not using the
mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org URL.  The master redirector at
ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net has been updated to send users to
mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org instead of attempting local upload.

Also, the TDE project servers reside (co-located with an engineering firm)
in the United States, which unfortunately is not known for easy access to
fast Internet compared with the rest of the world, and is especially
behind compared to Asia.  The engineering firm donating these resources to
TDE is looking to move to a location with much faster Internet access in
the next 6 months or so; at that time the remaining TDE access issues
should be sorted out.

Thank you for your patience while this issue was worked around, and happy
Thanksgiving alL!

Tim
