Thank you for your support in mirroring Debian.

I'm going over ancient tickets that are still open.  It seems
mirror.zol.co.zw was added a while ago, the ticket closed, and you
re-opened it with another request.  Please don't recycle tickets, there
are plenty of numbers left :)

A few minor issues with your mirror, while I'm looking at it:

o There is a mismatch between your tracefile name in
  http://mirror.zol.co.zw/debian/project/trace/ and your site-name.  Can
  you please have the tracefile name be the same as the site name?  I
  think you can accomplish this by setting MIRRORNAME= in ftpsync.conf.

  Either that, or we rename your mirror in our system to
  mirror.liquidtelecom.com - whichever you prefer.  Please let us know.

o The ftpsync version is a bit dusty.  Please upgrade.
  http://mirror.zol.co.zw/debian/project/ftpsync/ftpsync-current.tar.gz

o we recommend mirrors not sync directly from service aliases such as
  ftp.<CC>.debian.org (only http is guaranteed to be available at 
  ftp.<CC>.d.o sites).  Maybe change your config to sync from
  free.hands.com (which is the same host) or mirror.bytemark.co.uk (you
  seem to like syncing from the UK)

Regarding pointing ftp.zw.debian.org to the mirror:  I think we can do
that.  Is this still something you're interested in?
