Mirrors for Tor
by Timo Jacob 02 Aug '13

Hi, This is just a short note to let you know that we've updated our links to point to mirrors.go-parts.com from their previous address (mirrors.go-part.com) + Mirrors: http://mirrors.go-parts.com/tor/ ftp://mirrors.go-parts.com/tor/ rsync://mirrors.go-parts.com/mirrors/tor/ If you could update the links on your end at your convenience, that would be very helpful, and in the meantime, I can coordinate the latest uploads to the newest mirrors for you. Let me know if you have any questions or if you need any additional mirrors. Kind Regards, Timo Jacob Outreach Coordinator Go-Parts.com

ADD mirror "http://mirror.bbln.nl/tor"
by Tim 11 Jul '13

11 Jul '13

Hey, I am currently busy setting up some TOR relays and wish to get my website mirror added to the list. I have been using TOR as an end-user for quite some time but I have finally come to the stage to contribute myself. I can not offer other than HTTP at the moment but I will try my best to add more protocols. Cron runs every 4 hours. mirrorNNN => { adminContact => "webmaster AT bbln DOT nl", orgName => "BBLN.nl", isoCC => "NL", subRegion => "The Netherlands", region => "Europe", ipv4 => "True", ipv6 => "True", loadBalanced => "No", httpWebsiteMirror => "http://mirror.bbln.nl/tor", httpsWebsiteMirror => "", rsyncWebsiteMirror => "", ftpWebsiteMirror => "", httpDistMirror => "http://mirror.bbln.nl/tor/dist", httpsDistMirror => "", rsyncDistMirror => "", hiddenServiceMirror => "" } Thanks, Tim BBLN.nl

What about a disclaimer generated by the tor master site put at the top of the mirrors list. "This page was last updated on XXXXX. If this date is older than XXXX weeks/days ago, you may want to try another mirror in this list for a more up to date copy of Tor".

Outdated mirrors hide / Link to the 'Mirrors' at title page
by Thwarth Wrhalthssen 21 Jun '13

21 Jun '13

Hello all, I think the mirrors page should be redesigned a little. What is the purpose of displaying all outdated and non-accessible mirrors? The owners of such mirrors are barely interested in maintaining them, so, I think, the best option is just to remove or hide them from the list. If owner of such mirror is interested in running it updated, he'll notice, that his site isn't listed anymore, he'll update it and his mirror will show up again in the list. Additionaly, it would be great to add a Javascript code to the list to make it possible to filter mirrors by country and services accessible (and a tiny country flags, just for lucidity). The second issue is the access to the mirrors page. For now you need to scroll down to the bottom page and find a tiny 'Mirrors' link in the 'Get Involved' section. Isn't it difficult enough? The Tor software is blocked in variety of countries and the mirrors are essential part of maintaining Tor website accessible, so isn't it right to make a link to the mirrors list somehow more accessible? I mean, for example, put 'Mirrors' list in the top navigation section ('Home', 'About Tor' etc). I believe lot of people failed to find this list just because it's location on the site is non-obvious. Maybe a crucial part of them are simply don't know the mirrors list exist. What do you operators think?

Hi, I noticed that there were no mirror in Norway or the Nordic countries, so I have put up a mirror on http://tor.multinet.no (193.90.12.85) that should be well functioning now. I have also put up five Tor relays, tor-x.multisec.no where x is in the range from 1 to 5, and the IP address range is 193.90.12.86-90 I hope you will list the mirror. Best regards Odd Benestad d.y drift(a)multinet.no

Requesting addition to mirrors list
by Kage 19 Jun '13

19 Jun '13

How y'all doing? I run the HackThisSite TOR middleman (198.148.81.167 / 594D6B7B1DEE6B23476C7378D0D26F2DB61251A5) and have setup a mirror I'd like officially listed. For simplicity's sake, I'm including a Perl hash similar to what's in update-mirrors.pl: mirrorNNN => { adminContact => "hackthissite.org", orgName => "HackThisSite.org", isoCC => "US", subRegion => "", region => "US", ipv4 => "True", ipv6 => "True", loadBalanced => "No", httpWebsiteMirror => "http://tor.hackthissite.org", httpsWebsiteMirror => "https://tor.hackthissite.org", rsyncWebsiteMirror => "", ftpWebsiteMirror => "", httpDistMirror => "http://mirror.hackthissite.org/tor", httpsDistMirror => "", rsyncDistMirror => "", hiddenServiceMirror => "" } To preserve URL links, https?://tor.hackthissite.org/dist rewrites to http://mirror.hackthissite.org/tor/$1 301-coded. The mirror specs are listed at http://mirror.hackthissite.org/About%20the%20HackThisSite%20Mirror.txt(mirr…. and tor. are on the same box). Cron runs every 6 hours, as required, from the primary rsync mirror. Thanks, ~Kage HackThisSite.org Manager
