Hello,

I was looking for AltArch Rsync mirror somewhere in the Nordic and it is
somehow hard to find.

Mirror list at https://www.centos.org/download/mirrors/ shows the
available HTTP/FTP/Rsync mirrors, but there is no information if the
mirror provides other content than the CentOS repository itself.

Would it be possible to have additional information like if the AltArch
(and others) repositories are available or not.

What do you think?

The header on that page helpfully says: "If you’re searching for mirrors providing AltArch content (like ppc64,ppc64le,aarch64,armfhp) please use this link", with a link pointing to https://www.centos.org/download/altarch-mirrors/

I hope this helps you find the mirrors easier :)

Haha, thank you - I see now.

OK, I know I should read the header but I usually jump directly to the country nearest to me using the Ctrl-F.

IMHO the header is quite easy to miss, could it be done in bold text or other colour so it would be more visible? Just my 2 cents.

Another idea could be to rewrite the mirrors page with some selectors like

-> Choose you country: [drop-down with list of coutries]
-> [ ] Show mirrors with 'altarch' repositories

[Submit]

and you will get a filtered list.

Something like that.
