I am sorry this didn't see an answer earlier.  It looks like you are
actively mirroring our download site already?

It's best if you use gcc.gnu.org directly. Is this what you are now
doing?  Is there anything you need?  (I believe it's probably best to
mirror using rsync.)

As a next step we then just need to add you to our mirros page at
https://gcc.gnu.org/mirrors.html, something like the following:

diff --git a/htdocs/mirrors.html b/htdocs/mirrors.html
index 75c71b95..8e35bc08 100644
--- a/htdocs/mirrors.html

What do you think? Are there any changes to this proposed patch you
suggest?

Thank you,
