-Our [mirmon](http://www.staff.science.uu.nl/~penni101/mirmon/) instance
-operates on download.savannah.gnu.org. We run [three instances of
-mirmon](http://download.savannah.gnu.org/mirmon/): one each for http
-mirrors of ftp.gnu.org and of download.savannah.nongnu.org for use by
-a multiplexor so users can be automatically redirected, and a third
-for all mirrors of ftp.gnu.org, for human consumption.
-
-The general information page for folks willing to run mirrors for either
-gnu or nongnu is <http://www.gnu.org/server/mirror.html>. More mirrors
-are always welcome. Savannah admins: the process for adding new nongnu
-mirrors is at the end of the [[DownloadArea]] page.
-
-GNU info
---------
-
-The list of ftp.gnu.org mirrors is <http://www.gnu.org/prep/ftp.html>,
-generated from <http://www.gnu.org/prep/FTP>, maintained by webmasters.
-
-The "gnu" mirmon instance is for the multiplexor that automatically
-redirects downloads to a (hopefully) nearby and up to date mirror.
-Only http urls are included, because everything else has proven too
-unreliable for users in practice.
-
-- gnu multiplexor mirmon conf - `/etc/mirmon-gnu.conf`
-- gnu multiplexor mirmon web page -
<http://download.savannah.gnu.org/mirmon/gnu/>
-- gnu multiplexor download example - <http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/emacs/>
-- gnu direct download, not multiplexed - <http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/>
-
-The "allgnu" mirmon instance is for humans to look at, most notably
-those checking and updating the status of GNU mirrors (a thankless but
-useful task):
-
-- all gnu mirmon conf - `/etc/mirmon-allgnu.conf`
-- all gnu mirmon web page - <http://download.savannah.gnu.org/mirmon/allgnu/>
-
-nongnu info
------------
-
-The savannah mirmon is the basis for a multiplexor of
-savannah.nongnu.org, operating in the same way:
-
-- nongnu (Savannah) mirror list -
- <http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases-noredirect/00_MIRRORS.html>
- (maintained by Savannah admins, see [[DownloadArea]])
-- nongnu multiplexor mirmon conf - `/etc/mirmon.conf`
-- nongnu multiplexor mirmon web page -
<http://download.savannah.gnu.org/mirmon/savannah/>
-- nongnu multiplexor download example -
<http://download.savannah.nongnu.org/releases/cybop/>
-- nongnu direct download, not multiplexed -
- <http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases-noredirect/cybop/>
-
-More multiplexor and other details
-----------------------------------
-
-- The actual redirection is done in the web server, specifically the
- module `Apache2::Geo::Mirror->auto_redirect`,
-- which takes the list of GNU mirrors from the file
- `download0:/opt/savannah/mirrors/mirmon-lists/gnu-mirror-list.txt`,
-- which is automatically created by
- `/opt/savannah/mirrors/scripts/get-gnu-mirror-list.pl`
-- which in turn is updated nightly by a `download0:/etc/cron.d/sv-mirmon`
- cron entry.
-
-The mirmon state and redirection lists are updated hourly for both
-multiplexors (gnu, nongnu), each of which has its own script,
-`download0:/root/bin/mirrors-{gnu,nongnu}.sh`, run via `mirmon` cron
-entries. Likewise the "allgnu" mirmon is run hourly. The geo location
-data is updated monthly via `download0:/etc/cron.d/maxmind`, stored in
-`download0:/usr/local/share/GeoIP`.
