A question about downloading

[Uhu]

Hello!

 

As the description says, I have a question about the function "Download from mirror". E.g. on sourceforge.net, a functionality with a similar name means that the content is mirrored on other servers / webspaces mostly with different owners.

 

How ist it handled on this site? I ask because I wonder why a mirror is limited in download amount too (btw, how many data can you load per 24h here at CA?)

Because it all costs bandwidth. Our mirror is owned by us as well.

Thanks for this explanation, Dave! :-)
