Just completed downloading from that mirror: texlive-20140525-texmf.tar.xz 100%[==================================================================>] 1.62G 1.41MB/s in 23m 35s Though I can not say that it will be as fast for others. It does look like a good mirror though. I suspect it is not one offered by ctan though. I just searched for the file name and that is what google showed me.
