I believe the Israeli mirror is already one day behind, at least as
far as testing is concerned, although this might be due to the problems
the mirror is experiencing.
It isn't. When the syncs go well, having "ftp.us.debian.org" after
"mirror.hamakor.org.il" in your apt sources will cause the machine to
pick the israeli mirror (i.e. - it is almost always as up to date as the
us one).
As for mirroring from another source, I
believe that debian uses round Robin DNS for some servers, and there
fore it is not as straight forward to pick up another mirror as it
sounds.
I found the proper page. mirror is listed as a secondary mirror. I just
picked another primary mirror, and we'll wait and see how it goes. As
for round robin - that is not the case.
My true suggestion is to raise the problem on
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'll probably do that. That's actually the information I was really
looking for.
Does `no data goes through' is like a browser gets stalled when it
tries to follow a link and display a page?
Exactly.
