Re: [swinog] mirror.switch.ch to be closed down
Thank you Fredy for pointing this out. It's really a pity SWITCHmirror is shutting down. We are also interested in understanding what would be involved in keeping such a mirror alive, especially from a storage and bandwidth perspective. Could someone from Switch please comment? It'd be highly appreciated.

Re: [swinog] mirror.switch.ch to be closed down
Thanks for bringing this to our attention Fredy. Most of us would have missed it probably. It's a pity, they're shutting down this service. This has been an institution. Reliable and trusted. Unfortunately, there is no real explanation, why they're discontinuing the service. Care to comment, SWITCH, please?
