- Per-file mirror lists have been improved by showing data in a better readable
way, and by embedding a link to a Google map showing the 9 closest mirrors.

Configuring GeoIP
-----------------
+.. note::
+ It is better to use the larger `GeoLiteCity
+ <http://www.maxmind.com/app/geolitecity>`_ database, instead of the minimal
+ GeoIP database that contains only country information. With the more
+ detailed info in the former database, a better mirror selection is achieved
+ in many cases.
