http://cvs.php.net/cvs.php/php-master-web/scripts/mirror-test?login=2 (i suggest the make version, runs faster, needs latest cvs of wget) and http://cvs.php.net/cvs.php/php-master-web/scripts/mirror-summary?login=2 convert this code to look at a seperated-values file, if desired, or use the database. Either way, you can easily adapt this to maintain a dynamic list of mirrors, or at least provide status updates on mirrors. -- james
