Why Torzon mirror addresses change over time
A list of mirrors is a moving picture, not a permanent record.
Load balancing
New mirrors appear when traffic grows so visitors can be spread across several addresses.
Retiring addresses
Mirrors that attract floods or are copied too often may be retired and replaced.
What that means for you
Do not keep a long personal list. Keep the current primary address and one or two checked mirrors, and refresh them from a checked source.
Old addresses in circulation
Retired mirrors keep circulating in forums for months. That is one reason a dated status board is more useful than an old post.
In short
Keep only the current Torzon mirrors and refresh them from a dated, checked source.
