Hi,
I have recently taken on the task of managing our mirror server at netcologne.de after it didn't get much love for quite some time. While getting into it I found that we also provide a mirror of the tor website and distribution. I looked at torproject.org to verify that our information there is still correct, but for the life of me I couldn't find a section about mirrors at all. Only by searching on the web I found a page about mirrors which seems to be outdated and/or from an older version of the site.
So I wonder: Does it still make sense to provide a mirror?
Regards, Frank

Oh thank you. I'm the one who wrote to you as a NetCologne customer. The relevant thread is in the relay list: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-relays/2022-March/020431.html
Tor browser mirroring would be useful. https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser/
The rest don't. Much is old or only used by a few. There are only a few thousand relay operators worldwide using the Tor demon. The most used archive is: https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org/
I'll post a reference to this request on the relay list.
Grüße aus Bonn.

I guess I'm not sure if I'm missing the point, as a mirror operator, who am I helping? And how do they find me?
