But why isn't there a mirror?

ROFL. Maybe it's actually step 3 of 5 of surpassing the only Persian Linux distro with maybe a few users... I mean, seriously, exactly how many Linux users are in Iran, and they at least have a mirror. They also probably host their mirror on something other than a N770. I mean, seriously, doesn't Nokia at least have a something like an N90 server in the US with a cellular connection and not just an N770 server in Finland connected via Bluetooth?

If Nokia wants to be taken seriously, they need to act like Maemo is a serious Linux distribution, and not like it belongs on the Distrowatch has-been list of Debian knock-offs.
