The problem i think is that many ports with multiple mirrors will use

that is? Doesn't it make more sense to try the fastest one first?
Belgium == Third world? Now that's new :-)
I don't know about that, but that site is unbelieveably slow, and it
appears to be the first choice for all kde downloads. I'm thinking there
must be something wrong, because kde upgrades have worked fine in the past.
I wonder if there's a way to add code to the ports stuff that checks
download speed and aborts if it's below some configurable number and tries
the next site in the list?
