How about deciding whee the most of the servers for this part of the planet are located and then decide if its asia and or europe. And just as a kind
The geographical location of the servers in relation to the users location is one thing, but the connectivity (bandwidth and quality of connection) often differs remarkably. We often find that neighbouring countries have little connectivity between each other, while both of them might have decent connectivity (only) to central Europe (mostly Germany) and the US.
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). It might be interesting to use YaST/zypper as a vehicle for acquiring this kind of information on an automatic basis. We could acquire and collect quite some knowledge! If somebody would like to work on this, let me know. Peter -- "WARNING: This bug is visible to non-employees. Please be respectful!" SUSE LINUX Products GmbH Research & Development
