Finnix mirror status site now available
- Posted by Ryan Finnie on October 19, 2011, 10:36 pm
If you're the type who is delighted by tables and number and maps with markers on them (and hey, who isn't?), there is now a Finnix mirror status site at mirrors.finnix.org. There you can see the current status of Finnix mirrors, see when they were last synced, and test GeoIP functionality.
One thing that is immediately evident by the global mirror map is that it isn't very global. Most of the mirrors are located in the eastern half of North America. The remaining are one in Idaho, one in California (temporarily provided by me through Colobox Networks to service the west coast), and one in Greece. If your organization can provided mirror services for Finnix and are particularly located in one of the following regions, I'd like to hear from you:
- Europe and the United Kingdom
- Asia/Pacific region
- West coast North America
Any new mirrors would be appreciated, but I would like to especially focus on those regions. More information for mirror providers is available at the main mirrors site. Thank you.

How about using OpenStreetMap for the maps?
Good idea, thanks! It took me awhile, but I've converted the site from Google Maps API to OpenLayers/OSM.
Hope the mirror in Portugal helps balancing the load for European users.
It does, thank you! 5ª Coluna also holds the distinction of currently being the only mirror over HTTPS.
