If tug.org is down, where can I download/update TeX-Live?

There are mirrors of CTAN (which includes TeX Live all over the world) – egreg Jun 22 '12 at 19:16

never download tex live from tug.org (it's a source not an archive). don't download tex live from dante or cambridge; we both have bandwidth allowance calculated to support mirroring only.

download tex live from

http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive

no other url.

Does it have the windows installer? (I can't find it at the moment on tug website. Btw - is it just me, or is tug's website the worst simplest website in the world? I mean it just has to provide 2 Download Links: Linux and Windows.) – drozzy Jun 23 '12 at 14:18

tug.org may be offline at the moment due to power management work at Aarhus University (where tug.org is hosted). Should be up again during the weekend
