What's the Process for Getting a Distro a Mirror?

Instead of just complaining about the sometimes slow downloads speeds of Linux Deepin in Australia, I thought i'd research what it takes to become a distro mirror. I've found that a lot of mirrors are Universities, so it may be a good idea for me to ask mine and others.

My Bluehost reseller account and things like Y U No Host would not work because they are not local? Unis may not want to front the cost. What does it actually take to mirror a distro?

I am surprised to hear that Internode doesn't mirror Deepin, maybe you would email them ?
