Best Answer

A mirror download is when you go onto a website (ie. a forum or personal website) and you download something from that website that is actually not hosted by that website

Eg. You go onto myspace.com and somebody has a blog about how good a free software is and wants to share it with you so you click the download and it downloads but its actually just hot linked they just made it say click here but its actually a direct download from download.com.

What are the purposes of the mirror files in dwarf fortress?

I assume you are referring to the Mirror links on the Dwarf Fortress download page. Those are links to download the same file, but hosted on different servers. The purpose being that if the primary download link doesn't work (or works slowly) for you, you can download the file from one of the mirror sites instead. This is a common practice on websites which host file downloads. It is referred to as "mirroring". You can download from any of the mirror sites and get the exact same file.
