Mirmon

Mirmon operates on download.savannah.gnu.org. We run mirmon for mirrors of ftp.gnu.org and of dl.sv.nongnu.org. In each case, there is a multiplexor so users can be automatically redirected.

Mirror request page for both gnu and nongnu is http://www.gnu.org/server/mirror.html.

dl.sv also runs the multiplexor for CTAN, although we do not run mirmon. /root/mirmon/ctan, /root/bin/ctan-mirror.sh, etc.

Special stuff:

List of mirrors for mirmon automatically created from http://www.gnu.org/prep/ftp.html by /root/bin/gnu-mirmon.pl

/usr/local/bin/gnu-mirmon2geoip.pl uses state file to build gnu-download.txt, which is used by Apache2::Geo::Mirror->auto_redirect to do the redirecting.

Process for adding new nongnu mirrors at end of DownloadArea page.
