Mirroring ftp.mozilla.org
Our file archive is available at http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org, and our releases archive is available at http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org, as well as from a number of mirrors all over the world. We highly recommend you use one of our mirrors to get the latest Mozilla software.
If you would like to mirror the contents of the archives, we offer rsync access to do so. We have two different modules available for your use:
- releases-rsync.mozilla.org::mozilla-current/, contains only the current version of Firefox and Thunderbird, 10G;
- releases-rsync.mozilla.org::mozilla-releases/, contains Firefox, Thunderbird, and Sunbird releases, 100-130G.
Use them as follows:
Current releases only:
rsync -a --delete --delete-after releases-rsync.mozilla.org::mozilla-current/ /your/local/mirror/path/
All releases:
rsync -a --delete --delete-after releases-rsync.mozilla.org::mozilla-releases/ /your/local/mirror/path/
The mozilla-all module, which is the complete archive (what's visible on ftp.mozilla.org, 2.2TB and growing), is no longer publicly available via rsync due to its size. If you really want it all, contact us to make arrangements.
We are currently only accepting HTTP mirrors at this time.
To mirror us correctly, add the following directives to the VirtualHost or Directory configuration block for your mirror so that Apple disk images, Mozilla XPInstaller packs, partial updates, and JAR files are downloaded correctly to end-users' browsers.
AddType application/x-apple-diskimage dmg
AddType application/x-xpinstall xpi
AddType application/x-java-archive jar
AddType application/octet-stream mar
AddType application/octet-stream msi
Alternately, add "AllowOverride FileInfo" to the appropriate configuration block and the /pub/mozilla.org/.htaccess file will add them for you automatically.
If you would like to be listed on the mirrors page, or included in our automatic redirect pool, please send email to mirrors-announce@mozilla.org with the following information:
- Mirror location (country, city, state, province);
- Mirror connection speed; (and the maximum traffic you can sustain for your mirror);
- URL of your HTTP mirror (e.g. http://example.com/pub/mozilla.org/).
Please set your mirror to update every 15 minutes so we can assure that our network of mirrors is as fresh as possible. We will be monitoring the quality of your mirror for responsiveness and validity several times a day.
Please sign up for the mirrors@mozilla.org mailing list which will be used to notify mirror admins of impending releases and changes to mirroring policy.
