The entire server at mirror.its.uidaho.edu (hosting multiple FOSS
projects) was suddenly taken permanently offline by its owner, and the
secondary TDE mirror was taken down silently without my knowledge.

The outage wasn't the TDE project's fault. ;-)  Limited access is being
restored even now (e.g. the source tarballs should be downloadable at this
point), but the distribution-specific binary files are taking longer.

As mentioned earlier, only mirrored source and binary files were affected
by the mirror failure.  All other TDE services, including the project
website, Etherpad, Wiki, and GIT were not affected.
