How to be a Mirror for Elive

Howto updated with the security section, to configure the server with a rate limited (to avoid possible bots / unwanted downloads)

We have an extra Mirror thanks to @panoram, located in UK, a very good thing since half of the visitors / downloads come from Europe :applause:

Remember you can always check the available mirrors and the selected for your location here: https://www.elivecd.org/downloads/mirrorcheck

Glad I can help out some. Please let me know if anyone runs into any issues and I'll be happy to look into it.

@Thanatermesis , have you considered contacting the folks at James Madison University? They host a small number of distros: https://mirror.jmu.edu

I've used it when I (long ago) downloaded Linux Mint. It was the best mirror for Mint for me.

I think it would be better for folks like me in the eastern part of the US. I had multiple stalls and subsequent fails whilst downloading from the "best" Elive mirror, which is in the UK. That's kind of a deterrent to more widely based usage of Elive.
