+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 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.
