			== How do we manage mirrors ==

			On the VideoLAN side, in order to provide the best service to our users we're running [https://github.com/etix/mirrorbits Mirrorbits], a mirror management software that will transparently redirect users to the closest mirror.

			It is also in charge of scanning the mirrors, ensuring they are up and running and it knows which files are served by your mirror. The system will automatically scan you mirror (using rsync or FTP) every now and then and do some health checks on the HTTP side every minute. If you have any concern related to a high bandwidth usage please tell us, we will reduce the weight of your mirror.
