Thanks Jan for the help!  You are correct that the directory was
missing and causing the upload problem.  This is due to a storage
back-end change made yesterday.  The short answer is that the Savannah
web page UI checkbox is broken at the moment due to it.  And another
problem too.  I am working on it.

In the meantime I have created that directory for you.  Asher you
should be able to upload to it at this time.  Please try it again and
let us know if it is working for you or not.

Yes!  :-)

And that is bug problem for me number two to debug this morning.  The
mirror redirection is dropping the "/releases" part of the URL from
the redirection and therefore the resulting URL is 404.  This is
affecting everyone.  I am trying to figure it out now.

In the meantime files that have been uploaded and mirrored out can be
reached by selecting a mirror manually.  But of course for new files
they won't have propagated until the next mirror sync is able to copy
them out to any individual mirror site.
