Appreciation is all well and good, but we're still not listed on
https://www.parabola.nu/mirrorlist/all/ nor on
https://wiki.parabola.nu/Get_Parabola ...
Btw, the "standard" download links on
https://wiki.parabola.nu/Get_Parabola seems to simply do round-robin
between the available mirrors... While it offloads the main download
server, it doesn't make full use of regional mirrors.
Among the motivations for running ftp.acc.umu.se are the aim to
provide excellent service to our region, so we strongly recommend
using a geoip aware download redirector. Mirrorbits
https://github.com/etix/mirrorbits comes highly recommended by many
projects that we mirror.
