AARNet's mirror archive was established as a pilot project in 1998 as as a recommendation for a Large Object Cache from the AARNet2 Caching and Mirroring working group. It aims to provide cost savings on international traffic and improved performance to frequently accessed archives to AARNet's members. Mirror.AARNet now provides a large coverage of OpenSource, Sysadmin and Academically related archives to AARNet members, including UNIX sources and applications, Linux, PC and Macintosh software and internet documents such as RFCs and FAQs.
