You don't mention what kind of mirror. If mirroring the website, don't bother, unless there is some market you could service that none of the other mirrors service well. Most of the world can get to one or all of the existing mirrors very well, and there is sufficient capacity. It just creates more maintenance issues for us. If providing downloads via ftp or http, mirroring cvsync, anoncvs, cvsup, sure, we could use more capacity there. In those cases, the respective pages generally give you guidance on setting things up...but keep in mind, the demands on such a system are very much "non-trivial". Nick.
