For continuity, you should continue to fetch it from the portal, and
consider the one on gw.ampr.org as a backup source.
However, note that despite the slight difference in format, they contain
the same data.

that's been OK except for the recent outage and some hick-ups in the data a
year or so ago. Now the file is also on gw.ampr.org (if I understand
correctly) in a slightly different format (<sigh>).
The question is: which is the better source to use, considering likely
uptime (network reliability, UPS, etc.) and reliability of data (fewest
transforms from original data, etc.)?
