| The most common nocturnal activity of an engineering student, particularly when exams are approaching, is to fire up a first person shooter game and shoot each other like there is no tomorrow. Now suppose, the geek in you, fed up with all the trivialities a text book offers, decide to challenge your friend to a deadly dual of OpenAreana. According to murphy's law, he will surely respond that he does not have it, and the Internet connection will severe at the very moment.

| As per wikipedia: "In computing, a mirror is an exact copy of a data set. On the Internet, a mirror site is an exact copy of another Internet site."
| |
| | |
| Mirroring is generally done for several reasons:
| |
| # For keeping multiple copies of a particular website to ensure that the contents are easily available and the master website isn't overburdened.
| |
| # Contents are downloaded faster.
| |
| # In case the master site goes down, the content is still available.
