Hi Peter,

He is not the only one.
I have about a hundred machines, both physical and virtual that i
install from a local install-server.
As our network is completely seperated from Internet, i had to make a
local install-server, and for the "add-on" repositories, i have a local
copy of ftp5,gwdg.de.

there was allways lot of bandwith still unused. No need to sqeeze
bandwith on rsync (as required by some other mirrors)

Hence i mirror from gwdg, instead of rsync.opensuse.org.
