From the initial nginx autoindex to the full-fledged web service we have today; from being used only by a dozen people internally at the very beginning to now being a public service; from synchronizing only four or five mirrors initially to dozens of them currently; from having a storage capacity of just a few hundred gigabytes to tens of terabytes today. After a whole year of testing and improvement, our mirror site has finally been officially opened to the public! 😂 Now, our mirror site has truly become a "mirror site" in the real sense, providing more convenient services for a vast number of Internet users. You can access our mirror site from anywhere in the world to download the software packages, mirrors, source code repositories, and so on that you need.

Meanwhile, we have discontinued the use of the old domain name mirrors.hust.college and only retained the service of mirrors.hust.edu.cn. Please note to update accordingly.

In order to make better use of limited storage space, we make the following adjustments to the mirror site.

Since the new version of Raspberry Pi Debian completely uses the Debian software source, we delete the following mirrors.

• raspbian
• raspberrypi
• raspbian-addons

At the same time, the official Debian repository already contains non-free software. We delete the following mirrors.

• debian-nonfree

We have already migrated the mirror site to GitHub to better support the open-source community.

• Front-end code：https://github.com/hust-open-atom-club/hust-mirrors
• Synchronization manager (tunasync) (tunasync)：https://github.com/hust-open-atom-club/tunasync
• CLI tool：https://github.com/hust-open-atom-club/hustmirror-cli

hustmirror-cli v1.1 has been released.

The new version adds support for some distributions and software sources. The latest version of hustmirror-cli has been updated to the mirror site. For users who have already installed it, please use the hustmirror-cli update command to update to the latest version.

In order to make better use of the limited storage space, we have made the following adjustments to the mirror site.

The following mirrors will be removed:

• AOSP
• git-repo
• gcc.git

In order to make better use of the limited storage space, we have made the following adjustments to the mirror station.

The following mirrors have been added:

• termux

The following mirrors have been removed:

• loongson

Currently, our mirror site is lacking some documentation. In addition, as we synchronize more mirror sources in the future and these mirror sources are constantly updated, we will have to spend a great deal of time maintaining the documentation. We hope to integrate the documentation of some less popular mirror sources on our site with that of MirrorZ, so as to provide better services for our users. After the integration, we expect to utilize the more frequently updated and newer documentation of MirrorZ to help users make better use of our mirror site.

The old hustmirror.cn has been deprecated. Please use the new domain name mirrors.hust.college.

We are currently applying for HUST campus domain name mirrors.hust.edu.cn. It will be launched as soon as possible after successful application. Please look forward to it!

As the internal testing site has officially gone live and is now using the new domain mirrors.hust.college, the previous hustmirror.cn will soon be deprecated.

While we will continue to maintain domain resolution for hustmirror.cn and address website issues for a period, we kindly request you to migrate to the new domain mirrors.hust.college as soon as possible.

On September 13th, after more than three months of internal testing, the Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) Open Source Mirror Site has officially launched for internal testing, available at the temporary URL https://mirrors.hust.college. Currently, the open source mirror station has synchronized 27 mirror sources with a data volume of 13TB, and provides three access methods: HTTP, HTTPS and RSYNC.

We have now made the front-end and back-end code used by the mirror site publicly available under the Gitee organization (https://gitee.com/dzm91_hust/). We welcome everyone to star🌟!

• Front-end code: https://gitee.com/dzm91_hust/hust-mirrors
• Back-end code: https://gitee.com/dzm91_hust/tunasync
• CLI tool: https://gitee.com/dzm91_hust/hustmirror-cli
