Please send updates to this list to ctan@ctan.org.
Master Host
The master host of the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network is:

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
