Hello, download the latest version of openSUSE and found that distributions can be downloaded in OVH and Rackspace...

List software can be downloaded:

OVH Mirrors
Rackspace Mirrors

Hug.

As I do not see a mirror for Mageia there I guess you want to suggest that somebody should ask those places to mirror Mageia, right?
BTW: looks like it is only one place (just 2 names).

To add mirrors, i'd report a bug against Mageia websites with the component "mirrors.mageia.org" at https://bugs.mageia.org/
Here's an existing report on some mirror issue for reference: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1942

Yes, because I think it might be useful and maybe if someone Mageia team might do is contact a place to Mageia there.

And not a distro Mageia like most, it is considered one of the major distributions by sites like Distrowatch =)

Distrowatch Top Ten Distributions

I believe that entering the Distrowatch Top is one of the reference sites in the Community could stand out the topic, see for the marketing team...

There is no special team for that. If you want them to host Mageia mirror, feel free
to contact them, ask them about that and refer them to our mirror policy:
https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mirrors_policy The relevant part would be at the end,
"How to (become a) mirror"

thanks, but I did not stay long mirrors and not the issue. The issue is that I saw in those domains hosting these companies there is a place for distributions and only mentioned to see if they could use.

Yes, that's what doktor5000 said - youo saw that those places are mirroring distributions, so you can contact them and suggest to them Mageia.
