New URLs for the UK Mirror Service

Dear UK Mirror Service source site, We're sending you this message because we currently mirror some of your content, and any links you have to us will need updating. If you don't currently list us as a mirror, please feel free to do so! The resources we currently mirror from you are: PHP: http://www.php.net/ We used to operate from mirror.ac.uk; this has now been handed over to Eduserv Internet, who will be running a new (unrelated) service from there. We're pleased to announce that we will be continuing to provide the UK Mirror Service from mirrorservice.org. If you currently have download links pointing to a mirror of your site at mirror.ac.uk, please update these to point at mirrorservice.org instead. For example, if your old URLs were: http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.example.com/pub/example/ ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.example.com/pub/example/ rsync://rsync.mirror.ac.uk/ftp.example.com/pub/example/ then they will now need to be: http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.example.com/pub/example/ ftp://ftp.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.example.com/pub/example/ rsync://rsync.mirrorservice.org/ftp.example.com/pub/example/ (note that there's no /sites/ in the rsync URL) Your content will be available by default using all three protocols. (If you don't want this, let us know.) Our web interface allows users to browse inside archives and ISO images. If you want a symlink in /pub/ pointing to your content so ftp.mirrorservice.org can be used in an FTP round-robin, please let us know. (These are already in place for some sites.) If you have DNS CNAMEs pointing at mirror.ac.uk addresses, these will also need to be updated to point to the corresponding mirrorservice.org addresses. The mirrorservice.org hosts are located at the University of Kent in Canterbury, Kent, United Kingdom, which has a 155Mbit link to the rest of the world (due to be upgraded to 1Gbit in the near future). Mirroring is performed as before from the IPv4 addresses 212.219.56.140 (compton.mirrorservice.org) and 212.219.56.132 (palomar.mirrorservice.org). Please contact us at <mirror@mirrorservice.org> if you have any questions. Thanks, The UK Mirror Service team <mirror@mirrorservice.org> <http://www.mirrorservice.org/>
