Hi, well, Fedora has been having the Mirror-Manager for quite some while now where you can select which countries your mirror would want to serve and also give your networks (lately: your AS-numbers) and would always be ranked first in the mirror-lists. I've tried to discuss that with CentOS-folks in the past, but they seemed to prefer the current system which "just works" for them :-( Sorry to hear that, while we're wasting bandwidth :-( Kind regards, Stefan Neufeind On 09/27/2010 01:48 AM, Randy McAnally wrote: > That was going to be my next question.
