Eclipse mirror sites

Mirror site request form

Eclipse.org is looking for reliable sites with sufficient bandwidth and stable internet connectivity to provide mirrors of the Eclipse software downloads. You may also mirror the download site on your internal network.

PLEASE NOTE: We are currently looking for mirrors in China and Japan. All other mirror requests will be queued as we currently have a sufficient amount of mirror sites in most continents. Priority will be given to mirrors in countries not listed here.

What are the requirements to become an Eclipse.org mirror?

  • An rsync client.
  • The amount of space you require depends on the type of mirror you are interested in building. Sizes below are approximated. Size on disk may vary.

    However, we recommend that you provide room for future expansion.
  • We ask that you run rsync at least once a day to update your mirror. Rsync updates will proceed more quickly between 3:00pm and 4:00am Eastern time, which represents the lowest bandwidth utilization period on eclipse.org servers.
  • Sufficient bandwidth to support the mirror. We recommend at least 10 Mbps of available bandwidth, more if you mirror Platform Releases.
  • You must subscribe to the eclipse-mirrors@eclipse.org mailing list for mirror maintainers. You can subscribe here: https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/eclipse-mirrors
  • Eclipse.org administrators may remove a mirror site from the list at any time, if we feel it is necessary.
