Thank you for that - much appreciated.

We've just recently moved the mirroring mechanism to a new server,
so while there might be some hiccups, I hope things will run more 
smoothly from now on:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/savannah-hackers-public/2017-02/msg00110.html

Please do write to us when you spot issues.

This is the main mirmon monitor page:
 https://download.savannah.gnu.org/mirmon/

And it has 3 sub-pages:

----

'ftp.gnu.org - all'
This page shows statuses of all mirrors of ftp.gnu.org, using 
HTTP/S,FTP,RSYNC. Your mirror (ftp://spinellicreations.com) is listed 
there as up-to-date.

'ftp.gnu.org - http only'
This page shows ONLY http mirrors of ftp.gnu.org.
Your mirror is using FTP, and it is not listed there.

'savannah / nongnu;'
This page shows mirrors for 'download.savannah.gnu.org'.
Two of your mirrors are listed there:
 ftp://spinellicreations.com
 http://savannah.spinellicreations.com
and both are shown as up-to-date.

----

The difference between 'all' and 'http only':
'all' is for us (humans) when we want to manually check the status of 
any of the mirrors.

'http' lists mirrors which are later used for our automatic mirror 
multiplexer (http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/FOO/BAR/package.tar.xz).


Hope this helps,

regards,
