UK2 Mirror Service

The UK2 Mirror Service offers mirrored downloads for popular Open Source projects, to help share the bandwidth requirements and provide faster downloads.

Our current mirrors are shown below. If you're part of an open source project who would like a mirror on the well-connected UK2.NET network, drop us a line at mirrors@uk2.net.
