Re: [Question #165532]: Hosting a Linux Server(Linux Distribution Serving)

 

Question #165532 on Ubuntu changed:

Eliah Kagan proposed the following answer:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors

Please note, especially, that you need to have enough upstream
bandwidth, or it would be counterproductive rather than helpful for you
to mirror. No matter how good your server machine is, if it connects to
the Internet with a home cable/DSL connection, that is far too slow.
(However, you could still meaningfully contribute bandwidth by seeding
torrents for .iso images.)

Other operating systems will have their own separate instructions for
how to become a mirror. You should check the project websites of any
OSes you are interested to mirror. The generalities will likely be the
same, but the specifics may differ radically.
