Mirrors are automatically removed and returned to the "preferred" mirror list. But the removal from the main list at http://www.apache.org/mirrors/ is manual, and will happen if you have too much red in the middle column. > I ask because rsync hang again during mirroring and we got delisted. > > Please consider automatic checking like mysql.com does.

I believe yours was not updating for over two weeks. Generally when a mirror is gone for that long, it's not coming back. And even if it does, we need to question its reliability. You also received an email at the time of removal (May 13) notifying you of problems with your mirror. At the moment, if I access your mirror from my computer (in Canada), it is *extremely* slow. Is there a reason for this? I'd like to add your mirror back, but our primary concern is having reliable mirrors. Joshua.
