Actually, per the rules (http://www.neustar.us/the-ustld-nexus-requirements/), you can't point a .us domain to servers outside the USA. I'm less concerned about the domain and more that I don't trust hosts in the USA anymore.
I did setup a redirect to torproject.org, so we're good there. There was a short outage while I changed the DNS (host didn't publish the new dns zone as fast as I expected).

Please remove the torproject.us mirror. I've lost interest in hosting in the USA. I might bring up a new mirror under a new domain in another country later.
.us is just a TLD.
It is managed by NeuStar Inc., who also manage .biz, .cn outside China, .tw outside Taiwan and .co.
If you're worried about the USA, they have enough influence so that any TLD is "under US control", some more, some less. .us is at least no different than .org, .com, .net in that respect.
You know you can point it at any IP you wish regardless of location.
If you want, I can take over operation of that mirror. We should at least make it a redirect to torproject.org. If you want to give up the domain, please sign it over to Torproject Inc., and don't let it go away!
