10) <hr />

12) <p>Thanks for considering to be a mirror.  All of our mirrors are publicly
13) listed on <a href="<page mirrors>">our mirrors page</a>.  You should
14) expect around 500 page requests per day from users all over the world.
15) The Tor website and distribution directory currently require 15GB of
16) disk space.  The /dist directory alone is 3.6 GB.</p>

19) If you would like to run a mirror, it's as easy as this command to download
20) everything a mirror should share with the world:
21) <br /> <br />
22) <tt>

23) rsync -av --delete rsync://rsync.torproject.org/tor tor-mirror/

24) </tt>
25) <br /> <br />

26) If you would like to run only a dist/ mirror, it's as easy as this command to 

27) download everything a dist mirror should share with the world:
28) <br /> <br />
29) <tt>

30) rsync -av --delete rsync://rsync.torproject.org/tor/dist tor-mirror-dist/

31) </tt>

32) <br /><br />
33) <p>
34) An example cronjob to update a full mirror once a day may look like so:
35) <tt>
36) <pre>
37) # m h  dom mon dow   command
38) 1 4 * * * rsync -av --delete rsync://rsync.torproject.org/tor /var/www/mirrors/torproject.org/
39) </pre>
40) </tt>
41) </p>
42) <br/>
43) For mirror operators that use Apache, we've created a sample virtual host
44) configuration file to use:
45) <tt>
46) <pre>
47) &lt;VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80&gt;
48)         ServerAdmin youremail@example.com
49)         ServerName  1.2.3.4
50) 
51)         DocumentRoot /var/www/mirrors/torproject.org
52) 
53)         &lt;Directory /var/www/mirrors/torproject.org/&gt;
54)                 Options MultiViews
55)                 DirectoryIndex index
56)                 AllowOverride None
57)         &lt;/Directory&gt;
58) 
59) &lt;VirtualHost&gt;
60) </pre>
61) </tt>

62) <br/> <br/>
63) Please ensure that you keep your mirror updated (we suggest automating this
64) task with something like '<tt>cron</tt>'). Our website, source code and
65) binary releases change often. Tor users everywhere will thank you.

69) If you are running a mirror, please email

70) <a href="<page contact>">tor-webmaster</a> and we'll add it to the list.
