I reported a problem like this much earlier.
I am in Hong Kong. Mirror selects .TW sites for me. BUT, although .TW is
close the actual data transfer between there and here is very slow. I
learned almost 20 years ago not to do transfers from there.
I excluded all .TW sites in the .CONF file. This wasn't working so good.
I noticed that almost all of the sites listed were .EDU.TW so I changed
my exclusion to just the .EDU.TW sites. I now live with this exclusion.
