This week I've been looking to make certain parts of the website easier to use, and to provide a better experience.
Mirrors Page:
ISO download mirrors are now in table format that includes the 'City'.

It's now much easier for new Mirror hosters to submit their Mirror information with the following form:

Hardware Database:
The Hardware Database now has an expand button so that the entire list doesn't load without showing.

Donors List Page
Is now Mobile friendly:

COOL weel I was just thinking about making the download site better and then I found your post... well what about something like this for next time
https://xubuntu.org/
i loved that most
I would like to help with setting up a mirror for Linux Lite.
I went to the rsync url and it downloaded a LL 3.6 ISO
There was no instructions for setting up the Mirror.
Must be doing something wrong here....... :

Sorry Jerry, you may have to babytalk me through this.
The plan was to use one of my computers on my home network to setup a LL mirror.
Should I download and install a Ubuntu Server ISO.......?
OK have installed Ubuntu 16.04 server to HDD on another machine.
There is a lot to learn here.
Will work through it in slow time.

Mirrors are usually hosted from a Datacenter where there are safeguards like redundant power, enterprise level firewalls etc. People are relying on your service to be running 24/7
I certainly appreciate the sentiment. If you want to do this, here are some things to consider.
You will need:
- Advanced ability on the command line.
- Knowledge of managing GPG keys in the cli.
- An indepth knowledge of managing web servers, Apache, Nginx etc.
- Hire a VPS or dedicated server from an online host.
Food for thought

I do not come up to this standard at present.
But I will keep the Ubuntu 16.04 server installed and try to learn more about it.
Thank you for your reply Jerry.
No problem, enjoy your learning experience. Exciting times ahead for you
