NetBeans Available for Download via Mirror Servers Worldwide!

By: Admin, 03 Nov 2008

NetBeans is now available for download via a network of mirror servers around the world. Currently NetBeans is available via sites in the US, Brazil, the UK, the Netherlands, Taiwan, and Japan. When you download NetBeans, you will automatically be directed to a mirror in or close to your geographic area. This means faster downloads for everyone, as you'll be downloading from a high-speed site geographically close to you, and load on the primary download server is now distributed across all mirrors.

We'd like to offer a very big thank you to the sites who are mirroring NetBeans :

• The UK Mirror service, provided by the University of Kent Computing, UK;
• The Center for Scientific Computing and Free Software at the Federal University of Paraná, Brazil;
• Indiana University, US;
• Open Source Lab at Oregon State University, US;
• KDDI R&D Labs, Japan;
• TWAREN, Taiwan;
• University of Twente, the Netherlands;

Thanks also to these sites, where NetBeans should be available soon :

• iBiblio, US;
• Yamagata University, Japan;
• Phillipine e-Science Grid, the Phillipines;
• ISU, Taiwan;

We'll be adding a full list of our mirror sites on the NetBeans acknowledgements page over the next few days.

Want to mirror NetBeans ? We are still looking for additional mirror sites. If you own or admin a high-bandwidth site, and would be willing to host the NetBeans bits for download, we'd love your help! Mirrors in any region are welcome, but particularly needed are sites in Australia, China, India, and Russia. Please get in touch to discuss details.
