Hi guys,
The mirrors are down, annoyingly when I planned to do a bunch of 16 and 17 updates. I got fed up trying from within a PBX every few minutes, so I built this status monitor instead. You can leave it open and watch, if you want. I hope it helps.

Thanks @kierknoby - is this running in the browser, so, measuring my times to the mirrors, not yours ? On a thirty second loop (load concerns of course 
?
Hi Chris,
The checks run server-side via PHP, so the response times you’re seeing are from our server to the mirrors, not from your browser. It gives a consistent baseline regardless of where someone is viewing from.
The page itself calls our API every 30 seconds while you have the tab open. No checks happen when nobody’s looking at it. Each cycle is pretty lightweight: a few DNS lookups, TCP handshakes, SSL checks, and a couple of XML downloads, so load isn’t really a concern.
You can also leave it open and keep an eye on things over a longer period of time. I can set a timeout if you like? I am happy to adapt it, whatever suits.
Cheers,
Kieran
