Hello,
If you want a US mirror I would be happy to supply you with that. But
there is a line if I'm correctly with a maximum off 3 mirrors for a
country. The mirror would be located on a server that will only do DNS
traffic, mail fallback, backups and the PHP mirror.
Just mail me (or mirrors@php.net/webmaster@php.net) to give me the name
for the mirror and I will make a mirror within 1 month. Thank you in
advance for your time and reply.
