Just got an announcement by email to the MIRROR-USERS mailing list (see the web archive) that seemed to imply that the UK Mirror service (mirror.ac.uk) will be going away due to discontinued funding.
If that is true, it would be a pity; that site mirrored a large number of other sites.
There may be a new mirroring service, but who can say what it'll look like.
So says the Wikipedia article on the subject.
The amusing etymology: "Nokieksel" for a dictionary or encyclopædia comes not only from "nokieken" (to look up, to look in, to search for X in Y)—so "something with which to look things up" with the instrumentel -sel—but also from the spelling "Nokixel", which is the German word "Lexikon" backwards.
