Blizzard has shut down bnetd.org.. for those who don't know what bnetd is;
it's an open source battle.net server - it allows people to run their own
game servers for Blizzard games such as starcraft and diablo. Blizzard has
shut down bnetd.org using the DMCA.

I urge anyone who uses bnetd to take a snapshot of the bnetd cvs from
sourceforge.net before it gets deleted. Even if you have no interest in
bnetd please help to preserve the source.

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at cvs.bnetd.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bnetd login
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous at cvs.bnetd.sf.net:/cvsroot/bnetd co bnetd

The source gzips nicely up into a 600k tarball for easy storage.
