cpan does a fine job with most of the defaults, but you should manually select
URLs from the CPAN mirrors cpan will list for you. I'd suggest 2 or 3. The
suggestion is to pick close sites geopgraphically, but you may want to consider
adding 1 or more halfway around the world. Many sites restrict access during their
normal business hour, so getting in at 2AM local time is the way to go. Don't
worry about most of the warnings. capn should be able to find something that will
work. Once you install the new CPAN bundle and Net::FTP you'll be good to go.
