As a developer, it is often necessary to download some essential common software, such as git, 7z, wireshark, golang, maven, and so on; as an operations personnel, it is often necessary to download images of centos, debian, and so on; as a self-media live streaming industry, it is often necessary to download obs-studio, and so on. So how do you download these software? Do you find it difficult to use a search engine to find the official website? And do you often encounter slow download speeds even after finding the official website? Some websites may even be slow to access.
In fact, besides downloading from the official website, you can also download from the mirror sites of major universities, which synchronize the official resources for downloading. Of course, mirror sites do not provide downloads for commercial software.
And, the Campus Network Joint Mirror Site provides an index and redirection service for the mirror sites of major universities. You can click to enter:

The mirror sites provide a wealth of download resources, such as compression software 7z, database software dbeaver, and so on. The mirror list page provides a list of various software and the number of university mirror sites that provide the software, as well as links. Taking the centos image as an example:
You can see the specific synchronization status of the university mirror sites.
In addition, on the "Mirror Sites" page, you can see mirror sites of universities such as Nanjing University, Tsinghua University, and so on.
These sites generally have fast download speeds, especially for software with slow download speeds on overseas official websites, the download speed is still fast through mirror sites.
Taking Nanjing University Mirror Site as an example, when downloading git for windows, if you download from the official git website, the speed is very slow and there may even be situations where the download cannot be completed, but downloading through the mirror site is much faster.
