This is a selfish point of view, nothing is important except the result on your side. But as I can see the results of such thing on distrib-coffee I can tell: - often the bandwidth limititation is client side (eg you, with your DSL connection, and not the mirror, with 100mbits/s or more) - all mirrors have limit, and when the max connection will be reached the mirror will stop serving you (download will be very faster !) Of course, if in the case I don't blacklist mageia and deny download via http/ftp to save my mirror (d-c is already under heavy load). So, no, don't donwload several times from a mirror. BTW: on distrib-coffee bandwidth is regulated by IP, not connection, downloading 5 times will not be faster than 1. -- Olivier Thauvin CNRS - LATMOS ♖ ♘ ♗ ♕ ♔ ♗ ♘ ♖
