Until recently we had to let Infra know before we made a release in order to make sure the network was not saturated with rsync requests. If you are interested here is the status of Apache mirrors. https://www.apache.org/mirrors/dist.html The question to ask Infra is if it is time for OpenOffice to be added to the Mirror System. Is the size still an issue? What would be the impact if mirrors could choose to add OpenOffice at their discretion. That is a question for Apache Infra. > > We know exactly that we are almost completely dependent on Sourceforge, > because beyond Sourceforge we have only one mirror (link I don't know at the > moment) whose address is only given in case of emergency and with the hint > not to spread the address too far so that the traffic doesn't get too high.

It is effort from volunteers to support everything. Where are there more details on serverion.com’s AOO mirror?
