The issue of clients in North America being redirected to other continents really only applies to the OBS repositories for which we simply don't have enough mirrors in the Americas. (one was recently been added in Uruguay though).
The issue is also with latency. US clients always go to download.o.o that is in NUE and then get redirected to the actual mirror.
Yes, that is something we could look at improving on.
If we wanted to have a mirrorbrain server in the US, we would need another 20TB disk space to mirror all of published OBS - and would need the bandwidth to keep it updated.
It seems to me it ought to be possible to _just_ run mirrorbrain without also being a mirror? Just to improve on the latency. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (6.1°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes
