Hi Shak,

Yes mirror.cyberbits.asia is an IPv6-only mirror. I made it clear
during the mirror submission about 2 years ago and was told it was fine.

However, we later found out that Mirmon [0] (the software redirecting
to mirrors used by The Document Foundation) doesn't handle IPv6-only
mirrors nicely. In fact, Mirmon looks unmaintained as the last release
was in 2016 [1].

If memory serves, I think the TDF team was looking to migrate to
Mirrorbits [2] at the time but I don't know what's the status on that.

I agree that having failing downloads is a bad experience and wouldn't
mind having my mirror disabled until IPv6-only mirrors are properly
supported. I see that my mirror is flagged as "site not found" on
https://download.documentfoundation.org/mirmon/ but somehow Mirmon
still thinks it's fine to use it...
