Notice: it's not about mirrors of archive.raspbian.org but archive.raspberrypi.org. Earlier one has so many mirrors all over the world.

Background

I'm building a customized Raspbian image with RPi-Distro/pi-gen and every time I build the image it fetches fundamental packages from archive.raspberrypi.org like raspberrypi-kernel.

The bandwidth of archive.raspberrypi.org is super narrow and takes so long time to download such kernels and other stuff. It's not convenient especially when I experiment with it and doing try-and-errors.

About making my own mirrors

It's better to have publicly available mirrors instead of making a private mirror of archive.raspberrypi.org while it's a clever choice.

Upon a Google search, I have found two mirrors available both at rpi.rutgers.edu and mirrors.ustc.edu.cn. I have not tested the bandwidth or integrity of either of these sites, but since they are .edu I believe they should be credible. I wasn't able to find any more than these two, but they may exist. Alternatively, if you would like to host your own copy of archive.raspberrypi.org, I have found a helpful script on GitHub to do just that.
