An update on the elrepo mirror status --

We currently have two primary mirrors (thanks to Florian and Pix):

rsync jur-linux.org::elrepo/
rsync elrepo.reloumirrors.net::elrepo/

They sync directly from our main server, and other mirror sites sync from them.

We have a script that monitors the mirror status. Stale mirrors, when
discovered, will be temporarily removed from our mirrorlist.

We are hoping to increase the number of mirrors (both primary and
secondary) in coming weeks.
