Hi,

I'm not looking into downloading full miktex packages into my laptop, but
I'm planning to create mirror for Malaysia and other country in South East
Asia region.

Looking at https://miktex.org/pkg/repositories , there are no mirrors in
Malaysia, Indonesia and even Singapore.

I would like to know the process on getting miktex mirrored, and also
getting the mirror listed in the repositories

Thanks
