suggestion on the out come it might be possible that our fellow hackers from India may do also dfepend on these particular servers and by that the mirrors are allowed to be in ASIA
I'd like to know details, but my expectation would be that Indian users can not be served well by Russian mirrors; it would be quite surprising to me. But it would be valuable to hear about first-hand experience from India (and other countries).
I am from India, most of time, default got Japan server to get update, which is very slow, so I 'always' manually change to US or Germany (with new release of OS).
I am not hacker, but user/translator
The best would of course be to find a mirror in India. Maybe you know some organizations that you could talk to and suggest that they set up a mirror? Failing that, we can give Indian users a similar treatment as others - sending them to German or US mirrors. That would save you a manual override. I have configured that now. If we add an Indian mirror later, it'll automatically be preferred. The mirrors I chose are: Germany: ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de ftp.uni-bremen.de ftp.uni-heidelberg.de US: rackspace.com mirror.fastsoft.net If you see some of them working not well for you, you could let me know and we could refind later.
