I find your attiude and tone offensive and demeaning. Your action item item was to disuss/document the current situation and verify whether others are seeing the problem. On the IRC meeting it was said there was no problems with mirrors. Yet every day I have been on IRC someone has been having problems with mirrors/or reliability. The solution is always use the two great EU mirrors. I have been doing that for my problems and they went away. All this does is provide a quick fix for the current problem. We need to document the problems or situations with the facts. I have seen the US mirrors in non usable states. They can not be used reliably or are of extremely limited use. They may be sync'd improperly. I do not know. I heard/read in the IRC log of the last meeting of how the downloads have been happening. So why are the US mirrors so bad. Why are they unusable? I know the on IRC other are experiencing similar problems. I think the issues/problems need to be documented. So solutions can be found. How this is to be done I do not know. Do we really know the problem/issue? > I personally don't have a point that has not already been said that is > appropriate for the list.

All I have seen is a very disjoint way of looking at them with no one acknowledgeing a problem. The thread would not necessarily have been like you discribe. I have seen some very good threads here. And some resolutions to community problems. I feel the mirror situation is a community problem and needs to be addressed. I have not posted waiting for it to be discussed as per the action item. I have not seen a list of the issues. I have seen many discussion of problems on IRC but no solutions or documented problems. I thought the action item was to determine on this list what the problems are and document them. So we do not have the same conflict/discussion of all is well...not it is not. This does not get us any where as a community. Thanks for listening/reading my rant on the situation. -- Boyd Gerber <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ZENEZ 1042 East Fort Union #135, Midvale Utah 84047 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
