<https://bordeaux.guix.gnu.org> is also an official substitute server;
I think it should be added to the list.

This Git repo doesn’t seem to accept connetions made through Tor, so it
might not be the best example
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ git clone https://mirror.sjtu.edu.cn/git/guix.git
Cloning into 'guix'...
fatal: unable to access 'https://mirror.sjtu.edu.cn/git/guix.git/': Received HTTP code 503 from proxy after CONNECT
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
There is another mirror on GitHub[1], and suprisingly, it works even
when connecting through Tor.

The patch LGTM, but I don’t have commit access, so you will have to wait
for someone else to merge it. :-)

Hi,
I have not followed closely the discussion so maybe I am off topic.

From my understanding bordeaux builds by its own and ci too, i.e., they
are not really a mirror from each other. But the last is a real
mirror––from ci I guess.
It implies that the user does not necessary get the same binaries if the
build is not reproducible.
Well, my point is: the word «mirror» from the sentence «you can add a
mirror that is nearer…» should be «server» and the documentation should
not talk about mirror here, IMHO. If my understanding is correct. :-)

Who is behind this mirror? Well, I am not sure what means USA here.
All the best,
simon
