Currently the mirror of the Oregon State University is used to download the MariaDB packages.
I wonder why a mirror is used at all here?
I didn't found the original sources for Debian Packages, maybe MariaDB can be asked for that.
The generic packed sources can be found on GitHub or on https://downloads.mariadb.org/f/mariadb-$VERSION/source/mariadb-$VERSION.tar.gz which redirects to a mirror near you.
That would only help if we were downloading the source tar file, but we are using their deb repo, so we have to choose a mirror: https://downloads.mariadb.org/mariadb/repositories/#mirror=accretive&distro=Debian&distro_release=jessie--jessie&version=10.1. :cry:
But where are the mirrors getting their sources from?
The Oregon State University mirror is the primary mirror for MariaDB.
All other mirrors pull from it.
Closing old issue.
Sadly without any resolution.
