Re: [expert] Not all Mandrake 9.2 mirrors are the same
Hi Anton, I already know about the http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/ site, but my point was check out the mirror that you are using, as they are not all the same, e.g. http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/Mandrake/9.2/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/ contains half the amount of files than the mirror at http://ftp.club-internet.fr/pub/linux/Mandrake/9.2/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/ both the mirrors are listed on http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/ site, and can be selected in the source main section.. people could be confused thinking that those 2 mirrors are the same. I have noticed that some of the mirrors have a cut down main section.

I guest the best to use would be the club-internet one since you also have the Source Rpms and the contrib. If you have a lot of space mirror club-internet. Mirroring the updates is also something usefull.
