The ASN usage is a novel idea, and would cater to lots of issues aobut nearest mirrors discussed in the past.
The date and time mentioned is good for me personally, and as a collaborative effort, that is the best that can be done. Those who could not join, unfortunate, those who can, GREAT!
Looking forward to chatting with all of you on 18/Oct
Regards HASSAN

The problem is that we can *only* do GeoIP. The granularity of that isn't fine enough at times (see above or other examples in this thread).
Maybe we return more than 10 mirrors in certain cases where many mirrors
are
close by?
The problem is that, by randomly choosing 10 mirrors within X distance
our own
mirrors are not always returned.
Even if we return more mirrors (which shouldn't be a problem), the fastest mirror plugin by default does not run each time. So if you cannot control the configuration of those hosts, that does not really help you much, although chances are greater that you are winning.
I am sure that a planned migration to a different mirror tool would be better. But yes, that takes time.
