As far as I observe it there is a monthly summary of news at SIMTEL. And
I like it.

What I miss is a download statistic of SIMTEL and of it's major mirror
sites, too. But once a month would be enough (for me :-). And may be
that a europe-wide distribution of the download statistics of garbo would
be sufficient. But that's not my problem.

And let's thank ts and his staff, that they not only tell XYZ.ZIP downloaded
twentynine times but add it's purpose and a (personal) judgement (good).
