The "How to use" and "Why choose zigmirror.com?" sections on the marketing website are not in spirit of the Zig community mirror list IMO. Statements like "The fastest community mirror to download Zig binaries" ought to be backed up with numbers.

Hey @linusg 👋🏼 thanks for the hint, the website is simply a display page that show the property of the mirror - it's not meant much for marketing but for displaying how it's done, and why. I actually re-run the numbers since the PR was implemented and noticed that other mirrors have a similar download bandwidth and latency (they can download a cached tarball in ~2 second, and uncached in ~12 secs). Let me know if I should update the website, which is not in this repo, for the PR to be accepted. Here's what I used now just now to check the latency (for cached tarballs) |

Sorry it's taken me so long to look at this. Yes, I'd like to ask for the front page to be modified. Like @linusg, I'm not a fan of how the content of that page pits this community mirror against others; the whole point of the community mirror project is to cooperate to improve everyone's experience by distributing the task of serving tarballs and eliminating SPOFs. Regardless of the numbers, I would like to request that:
Personally, I would prefer if the landing page were entirely replaced, either with a simple page containing details about this mirror, or even just with a redirect to Community Mirrors. However, I'd be okay with merging given the changes listed above; I just don't want any mirror to paint itself as superior to others and thereby encourage fragmentation within the ecosystem of mirrors. Thank you! |
The mirror is geographically redundant and fast thanks to Cloudflare CDN.
Instructions to replicate the same setup are also added in MIRRORS.md.
