That's exactly the problem - it is always hit or miss on mirrors whether they are up-to-date, let alone fast enough! Who has the time to sift through the mirror list and try each one out? Don't they have minimum requirements to become a mirror? Can't they be rated some how (as I proposed many moons ago?)
One would assume that the primarys would be large machines and allow large throughput (NOT) - So, Mandrake would do itself a favor and try to arrange either better quality (ie: more consistant) mirrors - or at least offer a special server (with invited passwords?) to the select group of people who contribute the time and effort to help debug and test?!?!?! Another good idea . . . Hewlet Packard and Mandrake have signed some deals recently (maybe Mandrake can convince HP to help with setting up some strong mirrors here in Europe and the States) - Naturally with HP equipment showing off the great relationship between the two?? Hmm?
