ftp.gnu.org is slow, and it is difficult to find a mirror that is actually up-to-date. I tried http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/ as per http://www.gnu.org/prep/ftp.html but the mirror was actually out-of-date by months.
It'd be better to just use http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/ instead in documentation links. Example: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Obtaining-and-Building-GRUB ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grub should just be http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grub _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list Bug-grub@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
