Do you know a) how the redirection algorithm works, eg does it usually redirect to the closest mirror?
The main objective is to minimize download time.
b) shortest and most common refresh times used by the various mirrors?
No, we don't keep track of those - I tend to encourage mirror operators to use fairly short refresh times, but it's entirely up to the operator. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (24.6°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
