All you need is a web server with enough bandwidth to serve the files. To set up a new mirror, the site administrator needs to:

* Set up rsync job to synchronize a copy of the files on http://~~downloads~~.sugarlabs.org onto their local system. You can schedule it daily or more frequently, but please don't sync more often than once per hour.

* Set up rsync job to synchronize a copy of the files on http://download.sugarlabs.org onto their local system. For example copy it into ''/rsync/download.suarlabs.org/'':

rsync -avzh rsync://download.sugarlabs.org/pub /rsync/download.sugarlabs.org

* You can schedule it daily or more frequently, but please don't sync more often than once per hour. For example, use cron to re-sync every 2 hours (on linux):

echo "0 */2 * * * rsync -avzh rsync://download.sugarlabs.org/pub /rsync/download.sugarlabs.org" > asloSyncCronJob.txt

crontab asloSyncCronJob.txt

* Publish the files via HTTP and -- if possible -- rsync. Rsync allows for efficient [http://www.mirrorbrain.org/features/#mirror-monitoring mirror monitoring] (scanning). FTP is less efficient, but still preferred over an HTTP-only mirror.

* Alert the [[Infrastructure_Team/Contacts|Sugar Labs System Administrators]] that they would like their mirror into rotation, including the following information in the request:
