Turn in your internet surfing license, it's being revoked. Time to go back to AOL. It's obvious these types of things are just too complicated for your simple mind to understand.

it's a mirror because it's the exact opposite of the original file. you need to d/l from 2 successive mirrors to get the file going in the right direction.

It has a "miror" of the exact same file but on a different server to help with the load.

I didn't think you were stupid from your original post, just slightly ignorant.

But now I think you're stupid.

yeah ok... a real mirror reflects an image but it's not exact because it's reversed.
a file mirror gives you the exact same file.

You are forgetting that file mirrors download the bits of a file in reverse order of the original source so its turn out in the correct order, thereby becoming an exact copy.
