I wouldn't know how to set everything up for a mirror.
From an architectural point of view I see nothing but added troubles.
So as long as one.com doesn't complain all is well for me
Until now they never complained.
To tell the full story: on a chat session the one.com guy (he didn't impress me with his knowledge) said I had a download site because he saw the download page. He couldn't point me to the definition of a download site. I had to find it myself. I contacted one.com -because you can ask an exception- but they never bothered to come back to me (which they usually do). Later I found the definition which clearly shows our site is not a download site according to their definition. So I think someone got told of for accusing me of having a download site, but they didn't want to go as far as apologizing.

I believe GitHub releases are a better option ;)

On my Natural Eclipse Plugin <https://github.com/rlogiacco/Natural> project I use releases <https://help.github.com/articles/creating-releases/> as download location and gh-pages <https://pages.github.com/> (a branch with a special name) for the update site: works like a charm!

        You're good :-)
        I'm not worried about the site. It is hosted at a professional
        provider (one.com <http://one.com>). They just don't want
        download sites on their system. They define a download site as:
        >A download-site is a site, where each single hit generates
        more than 1 MB of traffic.
        We are still below 50k per hit in march so we can handle a bump.
        I think the main reason it is so low is the many builds that
        generate hits (in feb 178065 on 29 days > 6100 a day)
        I'm sending the mail
        Lets hope for a big response

        That's perfect, sorry for the weird notation. I still see
        V2.4 in the video links and the `of` is only for 1st of
        April, while the two March dates are without it...

        Very good article in my humble opinion... if it gets
        published we'll need a new download location, as your server
        will be bloated with downloads :-D

            *New Eclipse Arduino Open Source IDE Release "Toddler"
            brings Pro Development to Arduino
            *
            With the release of version 3 of the Eclipse Arduino
            product, nicknamed "Toddler", Project Lead Jan Baeyens
            brings us the next big step in professional development
            for the open hardware Arduino platform. The major
            features of this release are single install,  auto
            library include and an incredibly good integrated serial
            monitor.

            While a lot of Arduino hobbyist are perfectly fine with
            the official Arduino IDE, it lacks a lot of capabilities
            that the expert and professional developer need. Things
            like multiple open projects, multiple files in one
            project, task management, version control integration,
            indexing, easy library development, code completion and
            many other features that developers take for granted when
            used to work with the Eclipse IDE.

            Upon first activation, Toddler downloads all low level
            libraries and machine interface code needed for smooth
            integration with the attached hardware. It is just a
            matter of installing the archive on any location (home
            directory, thumb drive, etc..) and starting the
            executable on all three major development platforms (Win,
            OSX and Linux), watching the dependencies being
            downloaded and starting the first "Sketch" but now in a
            multi-file project format.

            After initialization, the IDE is equipped with support
            for hundreds of boards and hardware devices including a
            huge library of code samples to get devs started.

            The Arduino eclipse plugin comes as a plugin and as a
            product. For download and installation instructions for
            both we refer to our website[1]

            The code is open source and hosted on Github [2]
            While the code is free (as in freedom), people can
            support the development team for a small fee on the
            Patron site [3] which will buy them priority support for
