Riley,
I have zero problems with contrib.redhat.com and ftp.f6fbb.org and
they are across the pond from each other. If your having problems they are
at your end.
As the internet usage doubles every year it will not be long
before no-one will get anything. Except those who know how to run around
bootle necks. But today you can get anything from anywhere.
