then add the *specific* servers as I described earlier, and do not let mirrorbrained decide which server you use.
This makes sense when you are using one of a very few repositories.. As I've said before, doing the step-and-repeat to determine the most efficacious sites for a number of repository becomes a combinational explosion as you multiply it out. I've been referred to my 'local" (aka here in Canada or northern USA) sites, but the reality is that they only cover the 'core', not the kernel_Stable, the KDE5 or the additional photographic stuff. And a simple script based around ping/traceroute tells me nothing about how the server at the far end can actually deliver. One of those electrically distant sites in Russia actually gives a better throughput than ones here in Canada! "Well if you used a rolling distribution, Anton ..."
