Thanks, I had that on my todo list to check, updated here.

I was wandering the new site, and virtually all of the useful links point back 
to torproject.org now other than a bit of stuff under /about/ -- In particular, 
all the download links pull the user back to https://www.torproject.org/dist/

https://2019.www.torproject.org/download/download-easy.html.en still mentions 
GetTor (which maybe handed out direct links to mirrors?) but the link 
https://www.torproject.org/projects/gettor is broken 
(https://2019.www.torproject.org/projects/projects/gettor -- Maybe that should 
be https://2019.www.torproject.org/projects/gettor ?)

I don't keep much in the way of logs but I did have a bit of very broad 
statistics in the past (bytes/day for a few days) and I saw very little traffic 
before when the local /dist/ directory was at least linked. I also don't even 
see any reference to mirrors being available on the new site, leaving a user 
who from an environment with torproject.org completely blocked being unable to 
find the files even if they happened to somehow find my mirror.

Heck, even finding the mirror will be difficult with <meta property="og:url" 
content="https://torproject.org"; /> set.

Is there still value in running mirrors? I have no real actual cost as I have 
both the bandwidth and disk space available, but if the mirrors aren't linked 
or used, it makes me wonder.
