New GCC mirror in Algiers, Algeria - mirror.hostarts.dz
HOSTARTS is proposing to establish a new GCC mirror in Algiers, Algeria, to serve users in North Africa and the MENA region. The mirror would be synchronized twice daily from gcc.gnu.org and offer HTTP, HTTPS, and rsync access. This would be the second mirror in Africa and the first in Algeria, aiming to reduce latency for users in the region.
