Mirror Multiplexor
In order to reduce network load, it is recommended that you use the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN) host which is located in the closest network proximity to your site. Alternatively, you may wish to obtain a copy of the CTAN via CD-ROM.
CTAN has a mirror multiplexor service. Point your browser to
for automatic redirection to a mirror in or close to your country.
Updates
Please send updates to this list to ctan@dante.de.

The participating hosts in the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network are:
ftp.dante.de (Köln)

ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive - rsync access on
rsync://rsync.dante.ctan.org/CTAN/ - World Wide Web access on

Becoming A CTAN Mirror
You can help out the TeX community by running a mirror of the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network.
On the page Becoming a CTAN Site you can read more.
Monitoring of the Mirrors
We monitor mirrors to check
that they are up to date. If a mirror falls behind
then mirror.ctan.org will not redirect to it, and it is not
listed on this page.
