Well I could not say about rsync (I'm syncing my mirror in Germany with distrib-coffee in France) but I tried mirrors.kernel.org with my Mageia system at home and even from here across the ocean I received all updates (Cauldron) with my maximum speed (32MBit/s download). So the mirror seems to be quite good and recommendable. -- wobo
