That’s really sad. Unfortunately, they don’t mentioned exactly, why they are going to shutdown service. Or is the outdated Sun Hardware the reason for the shutdown.
As longterm user of the SwitchMirror, I would be glad to contribute in some ways, to help this (or something similar) service stays there.
If Community supported, it would be nice to have some figures (bandwidth, disk space, etc. etc.).
Just let me know, when my help is needed.
Kind Regards

SWITCH announced that they plan to close down mirror.switch.ch. See announcement http://mirror.switch.ch/
I personally think this is very sad. In the name of the community I would like to thank SWITCH for their support over all these years.
However I would like to start the discussion how we can keep mirror.switch.ch alive as a community effort.
Can the decision makers at SWITCH please explain the preconditions? Funding for new hardware? Throw in some bandwidth? Colocation? Server management?
Please discuss.
