+==Do You Manage a Potential Manjaro Mirror Server?==
+If so, here are some guidelines for you to think about, as putting up such a Mirror requires a certain commitment & perseverance.
+The Manjaro community is better off not having a mirror, if it isn't kept functioning & up to date.
+So if you aren't in it for the long run, don't do it. You will only create disappointment.
+Do you have enough bandwidth for the job?
+Do you pay for traffic? Your traffic may increase a lot. If you don't have enough bandwidth, you will end up offering at best a slow mirror, at worst an unreachable mirror.
+Do you have enough disk space? You will need 50GB, though being able to offer 100GB would be great for the future. If your drive fills up you will not be able to rsync your mirror, it will become out of date & cause problems.
+Sync every six hours. Being a rolling release system Manjaro's repos are very dynamic. So mirrors need to be updated multiple times per day.
+Keep an eye on your sync scripts. Make sure that your mirror updates are functioning correctly. Users depend on your data to be all there & current.
+Watch the Manjaro forum for announcements re. changes that may effect the mirror/repo system. The Manjaro administration will send you an email for any important changes. Though it often helps to be primed & ready for a change.
