>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.
