Yes, if you wish to mirror the website, you can use svn and the htdocs module.

The Austrian mirror referred to here however, is an alternative download 
location for source tarballs. It is presented as a "European mirror", next to 
a "USA mirror".

These links have been on the GnuCash website for as long as I know. Some time 
ago I mentioned on this list that the European Mirror was very unreliable. I 
had slow speed to no connection at all.

For the record, I have just tested the corrected links, but the issues are 
still there. I could click the European mirror link once and get a download 
proposal, which I cancelled. Any subsequent attempt to download the source 
from the European mirror fowards me to this page:
http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/.admin/missing/server.php?name=GD.TUWIEN.AC.AT

As said before, I don't have any formal or informal connection to this mirror 
provider, so I can't solve anything further here.
