Yes I tried it with .ie first in MASTER_SORT but it didn't seem to make any difference. I then disabled MASTER_RANDOM_SORT and then added the following at the bottom of mk.conf: MASTER_SITE_GNU= ftp://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/gnu/ MASTER_SITE_SOURCEFORGE=ftp://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/sourceforge/ This seems to have fixed it for me so far. I'll now try Irish mirrors for Perl. Many thanks! -- Gerard Lally
