understood - we do have that information https://www.parabola.nu/mirrors/ it looks like north america, europ, and asia are covered sufficiently - the out-lying areas being south america, africa, middle-east, and australia - but keep in mind that the arch-bound redirector does not have any logic in it now - it simply selects one of a fixed set of ten indiscriminately; and im not sure if geographic diversity was ever considered as a criteria for being place into that set - those more distant locations may not be served optimally with the current redirector either _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.parabola.nu/mailman/listinfo/dev
