I'm not sure that is very practical. We're using lots of eggs that we don't produce. They may depend on still more that we don't produce... > it'd be great to have mirrors. The only obvious way to have a usable separate repo is to create a mirror and I'm afraid having a lot of (or a few) people creating mirrors could end up crushing pypi in the process. I think this will require some coordination. > On a side-note, I don't know who maintains PyPI now, but thank you for > the great job, Absolutely! > for a single un-mirrored site, the reliability thus far > has been great.
