A mirror is a download site which contains a copy of files at some other
site, so for example, the "Update" program asks you to select a 'mirror'
of the main mandrake download site so that you can choose a site that may
be closer (and therefore perhaps faster) to download from, as well as
allow many people to retreive the same file at once, all around the world.
Make sense?
