I thought the list had gotten a bit shorter. I only seem to have German sources now whereas before I had at least one in the UK.
I read somewhere (suse site?) that it uses some intelligence to provide a list of servers it thinks are nearer you.
Interesting, I'm in the UK :-) Is the list refreshed dynamically perhaps? If so, the other servers could have been down at the time.
The list is shorter in an effort to provide only local mirrors and reduce the load on ftp.suse.com. I'm in southeast US and only US mirrors show on the list. I can add others but a local mirror provides great response and download speeds. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
