UK2 Mirror Service

The UK2 Mirror Service offers mirrored downloads for popular Open Source projects, to help share the bandwidth requirements and provide faster downloads.

Our current mirrors are shown below. If you're part of an open source project who would like a mirror on the well-connected UK2.NET network, drop us a line at mirrors@uk2.net.

Rsync access is now available to all mirrors hosted here. If you want to sync from our mirrors, feel free to use rsync to do so; we'd appreciate if you would drop us a mail to mirrors@uk2.net so we can contact you if we need to make changes to our rsync configuration which could affect you.
