The Sugar Labs Content Delivery Network uses MirrorBrain as a redirector.  The redirector, which lives in a Sugar Labs data center, keeps track of which files are available on which mirror.  When a a user requests a file, the redirector points the user to the correct mirror and automatically starts the file download.

* Set up rsync job to synchronise a copy of the files on downloads.sugarlabs.org onto their local system.
 +
* Alert the Sugar Labs system administrators that they would like their mirror into rotation.
