If you have the hardware and the bandwidth to donate, contact Polstra at
jdp@xxxxxxxxxxx. Include your location, as he tries to balance mirrors
by geography. If your area is short on mirrors and you fit his other
requirements, he might take you up on it. John chooses the mirror sites
carefully, balancing the needs against the locations offered and the
capacity. "I would be unlikely to allow 30 mirror sites in, say,
Iceland," he says.

Why don't you please write to jdp@xxxxxxxxxxx ? He is the author of
CVSup and also manages issues with the worldwide freebsd mirrors.
