Linux mirrors in India ?

["Ruchir Tewari" <ruchir_tewari@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Folks,

has anyone attempted setting up mirrors for linux
software in India itself for sites like kernel.org,
sourceforge.com and rpmfind.net ?

the www.kernel.org mirror for india (www.in.kernel.org)
is a machine located in belgium. the others don't have
mirrors, but sourceforge has a note which is attached
below.

if someone has tried this, what have been the problems ?

if not, maybe we could convince some of the indian ISPs to do
the job ?

regards,
- Ruchir
