News

28 Apr. 2013: New maintainer has already been filled. Thanks to those who applied.

21 Oct. 2012: a) The Mozilla.org mirror has been disabled. Mozilla no longer uses the community mirror network. b) We are looking for a new maintainer! Please contact mirror@thishostname if you'd like to help!

11 Dec. 2011: Mirror.umd.edu is now in its permanent space in a university data center, where its network speed has been upgraded from 100 Mb/s to 1000 Mb/s.

20 Nov. 2011: Thanks to a generous donation, we were able to add 8 GB of RAM to our main server. We expect that this extra memory will help to alleviate the site's occasional slowness. Network changes are in progress, and we hope to have the gigabit connection back soon.

13 Nov. 2011: Our server now hosts copies of Linux Mint's disk images and package repository.

16 Oct. 2011: We have completed our hardware upgrades and finished restoring all but one or two of the mirrors. We're now hosting the entire release archives of Ubuntu, Gentoo, Mozilla and Kernel.org, and our OpenSUSE and Fedora mirrors have been expanded. We have also started mirroring BerliOS.de's source code repositories, release files and mailing lists.
