The mirrors, are very important,
For the new user: the mirror is the place where the "playstore"/"applestore"/M$market" resides,
The integrity and availability of the mirrors and the files (packages==programmes) is Vital, imagine your self with "playstore/android" not working: you are in bad shape :p .
It is nice to have a very easy way to help mageia with that, as I do.
It is to me too, the maintainer of a mageia repo. very important to know if there are issues.
Thus, I leave you here my contact info.
( please do not abuse I have already 1000's of IPs banned , do not join them, other services in the world get my banning list too and update other systems (and vice versa), here and there ... )
You can msg me to magie@remi.lu , you guess that I manage magie.remi.lu , it is somewhere in France
