[Insight-developers] Mirror of ITK testing data on http://slicer.kitware.com/midas3/

[Matt McCormick]

Hi Jc,

This should have an insignificant impact
compared to Slicer usage of the server.  It would just require
mirroring the test data [1], which is currently 252 MB.  The servers
are queried in the order they are listed, so this resource would only
be used when the first two servers are unavailable.  This should
happen "very rarely".

The resources for midas3.kitware.com are managed by the Midas team, so
they would know if there are enough resources for a Slicer mirror.

Thanks,
Matt
