If you have software based on PuTTY, or specifically designed to

PuTTY users, then we will probably be happy to add a link to you on

\H{feedback-mirrors} Mirroring the PuTTY web site
\#{This paragraph also in putty-website/mirrors.html}
Mirrors of the PuTTY web site are welcome, especially in regions not
well covered by existing mirrors. (However, if you're in a region that is
already well served by mirrors, you should consider whether yet another one
will be worth the effort.) Please don't bother asking us for permission before
\# the next two paragraphs also on the Mirrors page itself, with
\# minor context changes
If you want to set up a mirror of the PuTTY website, go ahead and
set one up. Please don't bother asking us for permission before
setting up a mirror. You already have permission.
If you mail us \e{after} you have set up the mirror and checked that
it works, and remember to let us know which country your mirror is in,
then we'll add it to the
\W{http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/mirrors.html}{Mirrors

If the mirror is in a country where we don't already have plenty of
mirrors, we may be willing to add it to the list on our
\W{http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/mirrors.html}{mirrors
page}. Read the guidelines on that page, make sure your mirror
works, and email us the information listed at the bottom of the
page.
Note that we do not \e{promise} to list your mirror: we get a lot of
mirror notifications and yours may not happen to find its way to the
top of the list.
Also note that we link to all our mirror sites using the
\c{rel="nofollow"} attribute. Running a PuTTY mirror is not intended
to be a cheap way to gain search rankings.
If you have technical questions about the process of mirroring, then
you might want to mail us before setting up the mirror (see also the
