if a mirror supports https and is being checked on a regular basis (could be done using a script test downloading the file) it should be relatively safe. for additional security the hosting service should be checked for trustworthyness manually to ensure that it is not fooling the bot by providing a different download for his ip. as long as a mirror is considered safe and up to date it would be kept in a pool like the bridges.
this way people could spread mirrors on all kinds of services and websited making it impossible for a censor to block all mirrors without breaking major parts of the internet.

Maybe that ought to get fixed too? I'm not sure.)

We have a pile of website mirrors:
https://www.torproject.org/getinvolved/mirrors
along with instructions for setting up a mirror:
https://www.torproject.org/docs/running-a-mirror
and a mailing list with our excited mirror operator volunteers:
https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-mirrors
The first page above is generated from a script in the webwml repository:
'make mirrors' runs ./update-mirrors.pl which pulls in the entries from include/tor-mirrors.csv.
I just ran the script today (May 3 2017):
https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-commits/2017-May/122271.html
and it looks like it was last run in Sept 2016.
So:
A) We should think about ways to automate the script. Maybe we shouldn't spend too much energy on this one until we've thought about how the mirror pages will fit into the future website redo.
B) We should figure out how to handle the community of mirror operators better. There's a mailing list, tor-mirrors, where people send mail to sign up their mirrors, and then nobody does anything. I bet we can improve on that process. :)https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/web/mirrors/-/issues/22178Website redesign: Mirror list site2021-08-30T18:48:52ZSamdneyWebsite redesign: Mirror list siteFor the current site:
