In the US, there are more than 10 mirrors, so it picks 10 randomly. Then on the client, the 10 mirrors that are provided are ranked by speed. If you have a local mirror, you would be better off picking that first and adding a couple others manually. It is not buggy, we just have more than 10 mirrors, so your server may not show up. The GeoIP is based on country, it does not get down to the city level, nor does it count the hops. When we are talking about close, we mean you will not get a mirror in Japan if you are in the USA. > > ------------------------------------- > Graham Frank - (608) 359-1593 > Neoservers LLC (http://www.neoservers.com) > Founder and Owner > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Lance Davis <lance at uklinux.net> > Subj: Re: [CentOS-mirror] New system question > Date: Mon Mar 6, 2006 4:20 pm > Size: 770 bytes > To: "Mailing list for CentOS mirrors." <centos-mirror at centos.org> > > On Mon, 6 Mar 2006, Graham Frank wrote: > > > Hey all. > > > > It's great that the new system is out, but is it still a bit buggy? > > > > I pulled up the new system from the server my mirror is on, yet it > > didn't have me try and use my own mirror.
