Oh, I didn't even notice he was talking about domain names. Yeah, that makes no sense. We should be looking at country codes (which are NOT the same as top-level domain names for countries) as defined in each mirror in the metalink (there is an attribute for that). Use the domain name *only* to get an IP address and connect to the server. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Metalink Discussion" group.
