>Description:
Please change the Order of the SOURCEFORGE Mirrors in bsd.sites.mk
descending from fastest to slowest.
[Name of the SF Mirror] (Country of the Mirror) = [Speed in Kilobytes per Seconds]
mesh (.de) = 7810 KB/s
switch (.ch) = 4100 KB/s
ovh (.fr) = 2100 KB/s
heanet (.ie) = 1910 KB/s
voxel (.us) = 750 KB/s
puzzle (.ch) = 690 KB/s
unc (.us ) = 610 KB/s
peterhost (.uk) = 450 KB/s
easynews (.us) = 326 KB/s
citkit (.ru) = 301 KB/s
ufpr (.br) = 260 KB/s
jaist (.jp) = 220 KB/s
optusnet (.au) = 175 KB
nchc (.tw) = 140 KB/s
kent (.uk) = 30 KB/s
This is measured via a 100 Mbit/s connection from Frankfurt DE-CIX.
and please double check if "umn.dl.sourcforge.net" (University of Minnesota) is still unavailable (connection failed) and consider removing, if so.
