What are mirror sites?

A mirror site is basically an exact copy of an existing site that resides on a different server than the original site. Mirror sites are used for testing, providing faster access to different locations, and spreading long download time around to more than one site. Many popular sites have mirror sites positioned around the world so that viewers visiting their site can have speedier access no matter where they are.
