Hey, great program you got here I actually use this to upload files to my site.

I have started a new site and was wondering if we host FileZilla as a mirror we could get added as a mirror on your downloads page.

The site is new and is not completed yet.

Our link to the site is http://www.abyssgames.com

We are a site that offers free flash games, free downloads. (no not illegal ones)
Free tutorials for multiple computer languages and more.

If your interested reply back on this thread.

I'm not an affiliated with FZ, but the download mirrors for FZ are handled by the http://www.sourceforge.net web site (a site for open source projects) and FZ has nothing to do with selecting mirrors.

However, FZ is released under the GPL ( http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html ) so you are allowed to redistribute it if you follow the guidelines from that license. Having said that, the author(s) of FileZilla will always recommend users to download FZ from the official source, to prevent viruses, spy-ware etc from being added to FZ.

Trust me if I say that you would not like to be listed as mirror on the official site. 50GB traffic each day.
But nothing prevents you from hosting the files yourself, if it's in compliance with the GPL.
