Where are you located?  Country?  State?

I do not know about LibreOffice/TDF, but once there are DVD projects 
offering ISOs for downloading it would be nice to have mirrors for these 
projects outside of Germany.  Not to be down about having the servers in 
Europe, but I think there need to be mirrors of the site[s] in North 
America, South America, and every major region of the globe.

Actually every International organization like LibreOffice/TDF needs to 
be regionally mirrored.  This could indicate that these regions support 
the organization and its software to the point that they want to make 
sure their region has access to the main web site even if something 
happens to main site's service, or something like that.

I once dealt with an internationally sold product company and they had 
their information mirrored in two location other than their 
headquarter's facility.  I worked for a time in that main computer center.
