Thanks to bkos from fast-stable-secure.net, there is a new, fast download mirror. The mirror is located in Europe and the downloads come over HTTPS.

As always, please report any issues!

That is great, for I live in Europe so I'll be sure to use this mirror.

Hi All,

Thank you for having me :). I thought to give something back to the community and I have always had great fondness for the LvL portal, so mirroring the content in the EU where I live seemed to me like a good idea.

Enjoy the downloads! :)
Edited 5.69 hours after the original posting.

1st: thanks, bkos! I've been using your mirror as my primary over the past year. :)
2nd: unfortunately, the TLS certificate has expired (Not valid after Tue, 03 May 2022 23:59:59 GMT). Just a heads-up.

Thank you lurker :). I can see quite a bit of traffic on the mirror, i.e. ~250 valid hits since 00:00 GMT+2 today, so I am super happy to be able to help. Hope the speed is good enough.

I apologise I overslept with the cert... It is back to green now.

Thanks all and and happy GET'ing ;).

Hello Tig, Guys,
I got my filesystem in the mirror VM crashed in some funny way and I need to get it sorted out, but for the last and next couple of hours the FSS mirror has been/will be down. I tried reaching out over email but seems the LvL mail server is having issues (?) so am reaching out via here.

@bkos - Amazing timing! I'm in the process of changing the mail server from qmail to postfix - been at it all day.

Should be able to get an email through now.

Thank you very much for creating this mirror, Bkos! I started to use it not long time ago, and it works just fine for me :)

Thank you Geniraul! I am very happy you find it useful :). I can see from Tig's stats page that around 25% of all downloads come from the FSS mirror which to me is really great - I guess we have a strong Q3 community in EU still :).

Sure, you've done a great job on it! Personally, given Raisy and Fearz are both from Europe, the fact that they were breaking world records laetely helped us increase the Q3 community in EU as well :)

I would just like to report the issue that as of now (2024.12.11 20:40 CET) the mirror is not working:

lvlworld.fast-stable-secure.net took too long to respond.
<...>
ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT

My Internet connection seems to be fine and I am not using any proxy server at the moment.

@Geniraul - Thanks for taking the time to report this. There have been a few issues with this download option over the last 24 hours. The exact problem is now known and may take a few days to resolve.

While we wait, the FSS (Europe) download option has been removed.

@Tig Thanks for the clarification! For now I will use other download options.

@Tig This is great news, thanks for letting me know!

@bkos Thanks for fixing the mirror, it's good to know it is back up, as it shortens the download time several times for me!
