Yes, I think the Mirrors file is useful: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/MIRRORS GNOME FTP Sites This site is mirrored in: Europe: http://ftp.unina.it/pub/linux/GNOME/ http://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/gnome.org/ ftp://ftp.dit.upm.es/pub/GNOME/ ftp://ftp.no.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/ http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/GNOME/ http://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/ftp.gnome.org/ South America: http://linorg.usp.br/gnome/ Australia: http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/GNOME/ United States and Canada: http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/gnome/ ftp://ftp.cse.buffalo.edu/pub/Gnome/ Asia: ftp://ftp.nara.wide.ad.jp/pub/X11/GNOME/ Fairly useful for tweaking gar.gnome.mk for regional use... Of course, anything with `mirrors' in the path could itself be a round- robin dns seeking site. As they say "your mileage may vary." Thanks for the follow up. -- Peter -- garnome-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/garnome-list
