mirror site
Copied web location
A mirror site is a copy of a website hosted at a different location, typically to reduce server load, improve access speed, or provide backup if the original goes down.
Software downloads often offer mirror sites in different regions: Try the European mirror if the main server is slow.
The content is identical to the original, just served from elsewhere.
