I just wonder does anyone care about new mirrors for the project?

[Comment 2 Jeremy Olexa (darkside) (RETIRED) 2012-05-07 16:25:44 UTC]

Indeed, we care. Which is why we aren't eager to add new mirrors, since we already have so many and don't need any more at this time.

OK, you are free to close this ticket with any resolution. Thanks.

Hello. On behalf of the mirror-admin team, I want to apologize for not getting back to your bug report. At this time, we are closing ALL new mirror request bugs.

The Gentoo Linux Infrastructure team and the mirror-admin team have found that a plethora of community mirrors exist and adding more requires an exponential amount time from us then we have available. As such, this becomes a more poor user experience than desired because the team cannot keep up. The Gentoo Linux project is not contrained in hardware resources and does not need anymore mirrors (even if your request is for a country that is not represented currently).

Thanks for understanding and thank you for your interest.
With regards,
Jeremy

Thank you for providing this mirror, I've added it now.

[Comment 8 Sam James 2023-09-06 18:52:11 UTC]

I've added the distfiles side, not the rsync yet.
