Using GeoIP - aka an IP->country database, refreshed monthly. Also if the server didn't replicate after 1 day, it's removed from the redirect list. https://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=5574 > and why are you using them? Well, to reduce the Savannah bandwidth and direct people to mirrors that are nearer them. > I ask partly as very-clever.com appears to be some not-great spam > site, and I'm not sure I'm that comfortable having the official > downloads for my project hosted there. No vague claims please. http://www.very-clever.com/download/nongnu/ looks pretty clean and our contact there offers the mirroring and bandwidth with no counterparts. I don't see a reason to complain, but maybe you can precise what is annoying you. > A completely different question: are you planning to allow / enforce > svn to control the project webpages any time soon?
