Hi list,
While trying to download software one often comes across options to use one
of many mirrors to get the software. What general guideline can one follow
to select the mirror site. Physical proximity obviosly does not work. Its
something to do about transatlantic cables, gateways and such but what
exactly?
Could getting stuff off Tucows be faster when using a miror in Philipines or
Canada? Is there a tool to predict network congestion and available
bandwidth?

Chirpy
