GeoIP is useful but should not be an overriding criterium; mirrors should still have an individual weight that enters in the calculation of where to send the user. For example, in our case we have a small demand from our country and have a significant idle capacity (including bandwidth in international links) that would remain under-utilized if we were to serve only users from the country or even the continent. This inter-continental capacity is particularly important for peaks of demand. >Do we have any developers willing to help us on this task?

Nice idea :-) Unfortunately I cannot contribute in this area. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
