gistfile1.md

Definition

Mirrors: standalone servers with complete copy of npm registry

Proxies: proxy to the database (couchdb) of npm registry, if only the npm registry server fails but the db works

(+) means server is self updating (pulls newest stuff from offical registry when back online again) -- Compared to mirrors with only snapshots that can contain older versions of modules

### Proxies Proxies are/should be self-updating per definition.
