With TER2 we now have the technical basis for mirroring the whole extension repository. Those who offered providing a mirror will be approached during the next days and together we'll start a first beta phase.
With TER2 we now have the technical basis for mirroring the whole extension repository and therefore improve the stability and availability of important parts of TYPO3.org. In order to download an extension or documentation, the Extension Manager doesn't have to connect to TYPO3.org directly but chooses a mirror instead.
Instead of providing a high amount of mirrors we prefer only a few geographically well spread and reliable servers. The criteria for choosing new mirrors from the offers we get are solely of technical nature. We therefore ask you for your understanding that we might not accept your offer for mirroring the TER because we already have a similar kind of mirror in our network.
If you would like to support TYPO3.org by providing a TER mirror, please contact <link>Wolfgang Zenker and provide him with the details of your offer.
