Though originally created for fun , it has found practical use in the People s Republic of China after the domestic banning of Google. Because elgooG search terms are printed in reverse, users are able to perform searches of Google content without detection by the Chinese government s search filters. ref cite news url http www.newscientist.com article dn2768 google mirror beats great firewall of china.html title Google mirror beats Great Firewall of China first Will last Knight date 2002 09 06 accessdate 2009 12 16 publisher New Scientist ref ElgooG.com somehow no longer works although a WHOIS request shows that it is still registered to Google ref cite web url http whois.domaintools.com www.elgoog.com title DomainTools WHOIS ref but there is no content present.

about mirror sites information about hard disk mirrors disk mirror Multiple issues cleanup February 2011 confusing February 2011 original research September 2010 In computing , a mirror is an exact copy of a data set. On the Internet , a mirror site is an exact copy of another Internet site. Mirror sites are most commonly used to provide multiple sources of the same information, and are of particular value as a way of providing reliable access to large download s. Mirroring is a type of file synchronization . A live mirror is automatically updated as soon as the original is changed. Reasons Mirroring of sites occurs for a variety of reasons. To preserve a website or page, especially when it is closed or is about to be closed. To allow faster downloads for users at a specific geographical location.

This may be viewed as Cache caching on a worldwide scale. To counteract censorship and promote freedom of information . For example, an activist might post pictures on a website of a company conducting illegal activities or make available information on secret government activity and be litigation litigated for such. Other internet users will make the content in question available on other servers when the legal action results in the cancellation of internet service provider ISP or Domain Name System DNS services for the original activist. To provide access to otherwise unavailable information. For example, when the popular Google search engine was banned in 2002 by the People s Republic of China , the mirror elgooG was used as a way of effectively circumventing the ban. To preserve historic content. Financial constraints and or bandwidth prevent the maintainers of a server from keeping older and unsupported content available to users who still may desire them a mirror may be ma ... more details
