Thanks for the hint; I just removed this server from our mirrors list. > ftp://ftp.uvsq.fr/pub/gcc/ - unreachable > ftp://ftp.club-internet.fr/pub/gcc/ - severly out of date (3.3 is latest) For these two, I sent notifications to the respective server operators and plan to remove their sites from our mirrors list if we do not get a positive response. > ftp://ftp.eos.hokudai.ac.jp/pub/gcc/ - unknown host Interestingly, there are MX records for this host, but indeed there is no A record. > ftp://ring.aist.go.jp/pub/GNU/gcc/ - has no snapshots (and has weird > structure) > ftp://ring.etl.go.jp/pub/lang/egcs/ - unreachable > ftp://core.ring.gr.jp/pub/GNU/gcc/ - has no snapshots (and has weird > structure) > ftp://ftp.ring.gr.jp/pub/GNU/gcc/ - has no snapshots (and has weird structure) > ftp://ftp.task.gda.pl/pub/gnu/gcc/ - has no snapshots (and has weird > structure) > ftp://sunsite.icm.edu.pl/pub/gnu/gcc/ - has no snapshots (and has weird > structure) > ftp://linux.ihep.su/pub/cygnus/egcs/ - unreachable Sites are sometimes unreachable for us, but reachable for users in the respective geographical areas/countries. Both ftp.task.gda.pl and sunsite.icm.edu.pl are regular gnu.org mirrors, not specific gcc.gnu.org mirrors. I thus removed both from the mirror list. I installed the patch below. (When you refer to "weird structure", is this about gcc3.3 residing in an extra subdirectory called "releases"?) Gerald ftp.funet.fi no longer mirrors us; remove it. ftp.task.gda.pl and sunsite.icm.edu.pl are regular gnu.org mirrors, not specific gcc.gnu.org mirrors; remove them. Make comments on sites only carrying releases and references to cities more consistent.
