Hi Peter,
Talking about the redirector, for the released version, not the factory one:
You, or someone, added US repos as in the same country for the Latin America (I asked it) as the connections from south america to other continents are made throught US.
Yes, I remember.
But there is a Brazilian mirror who appear later and its now showed as in the same continent as you can see below:
Yes. I'm aware of this problem, this is a disadvantage of the current implementation of the "override" functionality. We have three choices at this time: 1) Leave it as is 2) Remove the override 3) Implement a better override, that I have already pictured here: https://forgesvn1.novell.com/svn/opensuse/trunk/tools/download-redirector-v2... (first thing listed under "Improvements")

What I'm asking you (or who manage the redirector) is to put the US mirrors in the same continent for all Latin America (with high scores), and in case a national mirror appears it will be choosen as it will be on the same country.
That would be the result of 3). Now, I just need to get around and implement this. It's sitting in the TODO file since a long time :( If anyone wants to help...
