Description

This issue is more about the gallery than the module.

Most repos like docker, pip, npm, maven, apt/yum, etc. allow mirror sites else in the world, and contents are sync'ed on regular basis (e.g. daily). This provides great benefits for developers in areas like China, or the speed for installing a module/package/dependency is going to be as slow as a running turtle.

Is there an option to mirror PowerShellGallery?

Define the requirements for a mirror option, including synchronization and use by developers, then confirm what implementation scope and completion criteria the project accepts.
