Hi Linux Advocate,
I have found this a problem for the Australian servers I manage as
well. I suggest you manually test the speed of some local mirrors then
manually specify a mirror rather than relying on the fastest mirror
plugin.
If your ISP mirrors content locally then that'd be the logical mirror
to use.
Good luck,
Oliver
