Hello Fabian,

Thanks a lot.

South Africa won't work for Nigeria as a nearby country. Yes, the path to SA is shorter but over 95% of traffic intended for SA from Nigeria flow to the UK before travelling back down to South Africa.

Latency to the UK: ~99ms Latency to SA over direct path: ~80ms Latency to SA via the UK: ~235ms

So, the UK is still better as the "nearby country" to Nigeria, for now.

Thanks : it has been added to the mirrors DB and will normally be listed as a public mirror (and on http://mirror-status.centos.org / http://centos.org/download/mirrors/ ) in the following minutes/hours. Your IP has been whitelisted (check that it's working in the following hour)

One question though : as that mirror will be the first one in Nigeria, for mirrorlist we add multiple mirrors, and from "nearby countries" : my understanding is that South Africa would be the best solution from a interconnect/link point of view. Do you confirm (and/or comment) ?

Kind Regards,
