The Universities/Institutes which can provide bandwidth for this purpose are IIT's and IISc. IISc is hosting sunsite and also has the debian mirror. AFAIK, no one has FreeBSD mirror. the only Indian site regading BSD I know is www.bsd-india.org Shantanoo PS: Plz. Cc me the reply since I am not subscribed to -advocacy.
