Never obsess over any given mirror. There's no reason to pick a close one. opensuse uses a round robin sort of routing anyway AFAIK.
Some people can not use that, for several reasons.
But they can pick any random mirror. There's never a reason to limit yourself to an in-country mirror, unless you live in North Korea.
Well, not any random mirror, but a defined one. Organizations that use proxying need a defined mirror, not a random one.
There are ways around that.
I was thinking of that recent thread where the IT people had to authorize the mirror to use, because otherwise the iron??? forgot the full name... Ironclad? thought that some packages are malware and blocks the download. The Linux admin had to say some mirror and stay on it.
Very different situation. The whitelisting to circumnavigate Ironport would need one or more specific mirrors. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (8.4°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
