GNU/Linux and BSD Mirrors on Campus
Virginia Tech hosts mirrors for several distributions, including Ubuntu, Fedora, and Gentoo.
Campus Computing
Campus Computing (CC) mirrors are available at http://mirror.cc.vt.edu/ They host mirrors for Ubuntu, Gentoo, Fedora, OpenSUSE and a number of other more popular distributions Note: To access via RSYNC, leave out /pub/ from the URL.
VBI
The Virginia Bioinformatics Institute (VBI) mirrors most of these large distibutions as well. A list of VBI mirrors is at http://mirrors.vbi.vt.edu/.
Note: These servers tend to have good uptime and excellent transfer speeds.
CS
The Computer Science Department (CS) runs a relatively old machine that mirrors for a few smaller distributions of GNU/Linux, including Arch and Knoppix. Their mirrors are available at http://mirror.cs.vt.edu/.
Users may note that while the 2010.5 installer includes this mirror, the one at http://mirror.ece.vt.edu/archlinux/ is much more up to date.
ECE
The Electrical and Computer Department now has a machine that currently mirrors all of Arch GNU/linux, and is kept much more up to date than the CS mirror. Soon it'll have mirroring for Gentoo and Ubuntu as well: [1]
