Apache mirror at the UK Mirror Service
Hi,
I'm from the UK Mirror Service. We've had an Apache mirror for a while
(we ran mirror.ac.uk from 1999 until 2004 -- that domain name's now used
by the new JISC National Mirror Service, and we've moved to
mirrorservice.org), but we're not currently listed on the Apache mirror
list. Here's the requested information:
URLs of mirror:
http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.apache.org/
ftp://ftp.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.apache.org/
rsync://rsync.mirrorservice.org/ftp.apache.org/
Country where the mirror is located:
the UK
Contact email address:
mirror@mirrorservice.org
Update frequency:
daily (we could do six-hourly if you'd prefer)
Rsync repository used:
rsync.eu.apache.org
Approximate bandwidth:
155Mbps (going up to 1Gbps in the near future)
I have followed the recommended configuration for my mirror:
partly (we've got a custom web interface that lets users browse inside
archives, rather than using the stock Apache directory listings)
Thanks,

No problem -- I've made the change.

Ah, my fault, I misunderstood your first message. I read it as the new
ones should replace the old ones instead of being added...

Looks great now and I've added it to our list, thanks for your
contribution!
Btw, you also indicated that you could update your mirror every six
hours instead of only once per day. We'd actually prefer that ;) Thanks
again.
Cheers,
Erik

Yes, but those don't point to us any more. mirror.ac.uk's now being run
by a different organisation, who also have an Apache mirror; you'll
probably want to list both.

[plus more broken stuff]
OK -- I've updated our configuration so that it's using your preferred
options now (and disabled our archive browser for that mirror). Does
<http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.apache.org/> look all right to
you?

Um, we still have http://www.mirror.ac.uk/mirror/ftp.apache.org/ and
ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.apache.org/, see
http://www.apache.org/mirrors/.

Looks basically good but I'd be happier if the interface would display
the README/HEADER files instead of only pointing at them.
Another consequence of this configuration is that other relevant
customizations carried in the .htaccess files are simply missing, for
example the AddType directive in /httpd/binaries/win32/.htaccess: it's
needed to get the correct content-type for some of the files, e.g.
http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.apache.org/httpd/binaries/win32/
apache_1.3.29-win32-x86-src.msi
