Yep, it's a silly game. What are you supposed to do to stop these muppets? Register your domain in every country's .org.xx and .co.xx along with the global .org, .com, and not forgetting all these new-fangled gTLDs that they're introducing. Pat has the right idea: just don't play the game.

Well, Alien Bob's packages for VLC Media Player is under Slackware.org.uk according to videolan.org.

From the torrents at slackware.com/getslack.

I use torrents or the UK Mirror Service, usually. The question is a bit OT though.

Created with AlienBob's mirror-slackware-current.sh script from my private Slackware mirror.

Hi,

I stated the reason for 'slackware.org from PV's point of view in post 14;

Look at what PV states within; http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...1/#post4397378

No real reason to worry about Slackware.org if PV isn't concerned. I for one would not download/use anything from Slackware.org. Get everything from 'Slackware.com' or official mirror(s).

We have answered the OP's questions about Slackware.org. Enough said!
