------------------------------

Hi Giannis.

It is normal yes, no you can't mirror the main Apache mirror page, Apache site, or any individual project sites.

The current structure requires that project release and source code are mirrored. This is usually transparent to the user, they get a preferred mirror automatically chosen by location, they can choose an alternative, and they download the files - all whilst looking at the Apache downloads page. 

A user can choose to browse mirrors in which case the directory/file list will be presented to them. There is no need to create any kind of visual link to this area from your main website. There is no need to mirror the Apache downloads/mirrors page.

Does that help?
