Unfortunately, recently their service has stopped: mirror/mirror#18. In that ticket I have already offered to mirror all but the 10 largest repos on my personal capacity. However, because @mirror has been very important to us and we have a DigitalOcean VPS that is pretty much idling, I think it might be a good idea for us to provide mirrors for at least some of the repos.\r\n\r\nCurrently, our server has 32G available:\r\n\r\n```\r\nFilesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on\r\n/dev/vda1        40G  5.5G   32G  15% /\r\n```\r\n\r\nAccording to @mirror maintainer, the total storage needed for all the repos is about 34GB.\r\n\r\nIf we don't count the single largest repo dd-wrt, then the total is at most 23GB.\r\n\r\nIf we don't count the two largest repos dd-wrt and cygwin, then the total is at most 17GB.\r\n\r\nThis server is funded by @tonytheodore and originally dedicated for mirroring the source packages, which is quite wasteful of the 2 CPUs and 2GB of RAM. I used to test MXE on that server also, but since my hiatus I have not done any testing on it. Plus, a full MXE installation probably should not take that much anyway.\r\n\r\nWhat do you guys think?"}}
