Debian mirrors map

Ever wondered how the Earth would look like if you added markers for every mirror that is part of Debian's mirrors network?
Debian mirrors map

(the bigger the shadow of the marker, the larger the number of mirrors in that zone)

Mirrors map generated with leaflet, using Openstreetmap.org tiles, and mirrors geolocation using GeoLite data created by MaxMind, available from maxmind.com.

    1. It's a work in progress for http.debian.net, I hope to be able to provide one that is easy to navigate soon.

      I need to address issues like leaflet issue#589

  2. It seems ftp.th.debian.org is missing. It's in Prince of Songkhla University, Songkhla, southern Thailand, around here:

    1. It isn't missing, the geoip database locates it in Bangkok. Feel free to submit a correction to the geoip data provider.

    2. Thank you. I have already contacted the FTP master. The correction is in progress.

  3. Interesting how people converge to the same thing ;) I put this

    http://ircbots.debian.net/mirrormap/

    together for #debian a couple of years ago. I had hoped to push it in the direction of the www.d.o people at some stage.

    Perhaps we should talk ;)
