Patch for Re: US mirror sites missing newer versions

Gerald Pfeifer has removed the bigsearcher.com US mirror from the GCC mirrors list because it had not hosted new releases for at least 18 months, as reported in February 2025. This action was taken after the issue was identified and no immediate resolution was apparent. The mirror may be restored if it begins mirroring again.
