What I get is unknown (with our current version). When unknown, it passes a list of high bandwidth machines.

I will get and build a newer version of the GeoIP database and see if I can get a better result.

I reported a problem like this much earlier.

I am in Hong Kong. Mirror selects .TW sites for me. BUT, although .TW is close the actual data transfer between there and here is very slow. I learned almost 20 years ago not to do transfers from there.

I excluded all .TW sites in the .CONF file. This wasn't working so good. I noticed that almost all of the sites listed were .EDU.TW so I changed my exclusion to just the .EDU.TW sites. I now live with this exclusion.
