MPEG races for upcoming World Cup

As it is only 6 days til the World Cup re-opens in Dusseldorf. I was wondering if we have solved the problem with MPEG races as Janne's server has been shutdown. Has anyone found a new solution for this dilemma, or are we North American's only going to be able to see the limited cross-country action when CBC and NBC show the Olympics? I'm only asking because I've heard very little developments on this topic.
Cheers,
Adam

Well I'm smiling, I'm in England and I can watch it live on Eurosport,
either analogue or digital satellite.

But I've no pc savvy and no funds to buy fancy DVD recording equipment
so what I really miss is the chance to download the racing to my PC to
watch it later or even out of season.

It's not hard to cobble together an ftp server. I would volunteer to
host one from home if I had the bandwidth, but my dsl link wouldn't cut
it and somebody in Europe would have to record the programs and upload
the avi files.

Anybody figure out why Janne's site was shut down? It was the only way to
watch the world cup from the US. A real loss.

It's not a mystery. He was pretty up front about what was going on
when it happened. From what I understand he was uploading the files to
a site at his job (a university, I think) and they asked him to stop
doing it.
