Opera Mirroring Specifications

Opera is striving to see its browser files mirrored on reputable file servers throughout the world. To this end, we'd like to offer you this opportunity to become an official Opera mirror.

After reading the following specifications, if you'd like rsync access to automatically mirror Opera's browser files on your server for public access, please fill out the mirror registration form.

Mirroring requirements

System specification:

You should have the following system cabailites available:

• Approximately 3.5 GB of server space
• The following MIME Type settings should be set your mirror server:
  • application/x-redhat-package-manager rpm
  • application/x-debian-package deb
• RSYNC read-only transfer protocols to auto-sync to Opera's FTP server.
  Note: You can reference this program at rsync.samba.org

Agreement terms

These conditions must be agreed to if you are interested in mirroring Opera's browsers.

• Registered mirrors agree to have their links to all of Opera's current browser files posted in Opera's public download tables.
• Registered mirrors agree to carry all browser files that Opera produces.
  Note: If your site prefers to carry only specific platforms or languages, you are free to host whichever files you choose. However, your links to these files will not be posted at Opera.
• Registered mirrors will not abuse their access privileges in any way. Doing so risks immediate removal from Opera's site, at the very least.

Mirroring benefits

The best benefit is the pride of knowing you're providing the masses with easy access to quality software. But you will qualify for the following "perks" as well:

• Your site name and Opera links will be listed all over Opera's download tables, creating more public exposure for your site.
• A URL to the location of your choice, with a by-line of your choice as well, will be placed in Opera's official mirror list. This listing is free and will remain posted until you no longer choose to mirror.
