I often can see here Russian(!) servers.              No, it is not a roundrobin.              It is an algorithm that tries to geolocate you and give you mirrors near       to your geographically location, if they exist. This is known to fail       for some people, but you can report it.              And it has been changed recently to a new system that I can not       describe, still early days. So, if you have problems, report them.              >       > Therefore, first thing I always do, is to replace all download.suse.org       > URLs with fast "direct" URLs located nearby for each repository.       That's fine.              --       Cheers,        Carlos E.R.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
