Given I have http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Frameworks5/openSUSE_Leap_42.... for example, what sites could mirrorbrain redirect me to? So far it seems to be sending me off to Asia, and as I blackhole those sites through Russia.
thought you would be more curious: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Frameworks5/openSUSE_Leap_42....
Thank you, I wasn't aware of that facility.
Well I step though what it offers and some interesting stuff comes up. The nth America closest, provo-mirror.opensuse.org, is a distant ping, certainly more distant by a factor of two or three than my site hosting may email and web in California. Traceroute times out on it, so its more than the default 30 hops away.
Other sites are, yes, though eastern europe/russia and asia :-)
I only add sites when I expierence frequent connect failures and then based on access times ... rather than location. if a site in bfegypt is more accessable than next door, bfegypt wins. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
