+If you want to use one specific mirror, you can set it using the `mirror` option:
+
+```yaml
+  - uses: mlugg/setup-zig@v1
+    with:
+      mirror: 'https://pkg.machengine.org/zig'

+Please don't do this unnecessarily; it's not nice to hammer one mirror. This mirror is not permitted to
+be https://ziglang.org/download to avoid the oggicial websote being hit with large amounts of requests.
+If you've experienced issues with a default mirror, please open an issue, and I will communicate with the
+mirror's owner or remove it from the list.
