I get maybe 350Kbit/sec reported by urpmi or wget in Toronto, using mirror.ac.uk and with magma.ca as my ADSL ISP. The line is rated at 3Mb/s upload and 800k or so upload.
ANOTHER person from Toronto on here! That's three now. Woot woot!
Maybe the University of Toronto and/or York could be approached to run a mirror. My contacts at U of T are pretty rusty by now, but I could ask around.
York has a debian mirror. The networking department is kinda stingy about bandwidth though... they only let us transfer a gig per week on personal computers and two gig per week on office computers.
I'd imagine that it would only happen if someone at the computer science department said "we really need a Mandrake mirror", becuase the CS department has lotsa money.
