+To use a mirror of the iojs binaries, set `$NVM_IOJS_ORG_MIRROR`:
+
+    export NVM_IOJS_ORG_MIRROR=https://iojs.org/dist
+    nvm install iojs-v1.0.3
+
+    NVM_IOJS_ORG_MIRROR=https://iojs.org/dist nvm install iojs-v1.0.3

 `nvm use` will not, by default, create a "current" symlink. Set `$NVM_SYMLINK_CURRENT` to "true" to enable this behavior, which is sometimes useful for IDEs.
