How do I mirror something on ibiblio?
Sep. 24, 2010
For now (July 2012), you can mirror software or other content from ibiblio.org via rsync. However, ibiblio is phasing out mirroring via rsync. If you don't find what you're looking for, please refer to the appropriate project web site for information about other sources.
Rsync example:
$ rsync -av distro.ibiblio.org::fatdog/ /pub/mirror/fatdog/
Try the following servers:
* ftp.ibiblio.org
* distro.ibiblio.org (Linux distributions)
* mirrors.ibiblio.org (free/open source software mirrors)
See the rsync man page or an online tutorial for more information. Please note that:
* The ibiblio Linux Archive (/pub/linux) is available for download via BitTorrent from terasaur.org.
* Compression is disabled due to server performance constraints.

Most mirrored content on ibiblio updates automatically on a daily basis. If you think a mirror is out of date, first check other mirrors to see if the problem is widespread. If the ibiblio mirror is not in sync with the rest, wait a few days to see if it catches up. Some mirrors, maven and gnu, for example, are maintained by the project owners. If you find a problem with these, please look for contact information on the project web site.
