Mirrors are like servers. You downloading from a mirror is like downloading from a server. (I think.)

You're right, halo2vista.

Perhaps an analogy?

A mirror is like when you look at yourself in a mirror...it's a reflection of you, a copy. It's much the same with internet mirrors. They're just reflections, copies, or more appropriately, another server with the same file. People provide mirrors to files, mostly to ones that are in high demand, or if the person who made the file doesn't have a lot of bandwidth. This way, a person can download the file from another web site, which allows for less bandwidth usage on the persons website.

Slaying noobs since 2007.

Ok, now that you guys helped the guy know what servers are, I'll help him with the second half of his post.....
Find the nearest server to you and download away, you can choose different methods, the most common is http, but ftp is faster as long as you have internet capable of doing it.
