You haven't shown how the mirroring system find a good mirror, and the evidence Johnny gave shows it doesn't. There _are_ good mirrors, I wasted some time perusing broadband plans and found another (only has I32 and AMD-64, but finding zSeries was a surprise). Your mirror system doesn't show them to users, and that's a problem to those users whom it costs. _I_ think Debian handles mirrors pretty well, it lets me specify country and gives me a choice, and the names I see mean something. Those Centos names might mean something to someone, but from here they just looked like someone chose random (or maybe consecutive) letters to differentiate their names. When I believed they are Australian, I tried to match them to Australian localities, but failed. -- Cheers John -- spambait 1aaaaaaa at coco.merseine.nu Z1aaaaaaa at coco.merseine.nu Tourist pics http://portgeographe.environmentaldisasters.cds.merseine.nu/ Please do not reply off-list
