This topic has recently been brought up in comp.sys.amiga.misc, but was also discussed elsewhere before. With what seems like more and more Aminet mirrors closing down or becoming very unreliable, it was suggested that Amiga should host a mirror on their site. Seeing how Aminet is a prime resource for past, present and future Amiga programs and files, I think it would be a sensible decision for Amiga to either host, or sponsor, a dedicated mirror on a reliable server with a good backbone. What do you think?

Aminet mirrors? : Comment 50 of 50 | ANN.lu |
Posted by G.S. Williams on 16-May-2000 22:00 GMT | Hi, again.
Regarding the Aminet Mirror site question. Several responses are indicating that
there is a misunderstanding of what a mirror-site is.
The way I understand the term is that it is, in effect, a clone of the main site
and is NOT a replacement of that site. So those who are anxious about Amiga
"taking over" the Aminet site can put their minds at rest. The idea is for
Amiga.co to have a copy or "clone" of the main site.
AMINET WILL STILL BE THE MAIN SITE.
I think that should explain the purpose of the original message.
