Hi Michael - not sure if that's the case - the mirror site claims to 
serve 1 million megabytes a day! not sure if 800MB or so for asimov 
would cause much of a ripple :)

It's actually back up now - you can use

http://planetmirror.com/

or

ftp://ftp.planetmirror.com/pub/apple2/

depending on your protocol of choice.
