I was in 9.2 when I copied the script to a win
     

dir. 
   

It looks as if the 
copying or cutting and pasting juggled the lines
     

up
   

a bit - could be 
because the tr part was on the wrong line the
     

shell
   

got the wrong 
instructions.  A reworked copy is pasted below and
you can find the orig 
here :

Hmm, I'm still getting errors.  Actually I'm getting
more now =P  ... Here's an output:
   

I have no idea if this is useful information or not
but this is the output I receive when running the
orginal debian script unmodified:
sh debchek README.mirrors
Testing       0  debian mirror sites for speed and
reliability.
Tests done : .
Fastest mirrors are:
mv: cannot stat `mirrors_by_speed': No such file or
directory
sort: open failed: mirrors_by_speed~: No such file or
directory
debchek: line 92: ors_by_speed~: command not found
sort: open failed: mirrors_by_speed~: No such file or
directory
 

It looks like those files won't be created if the script can't run but 
line 92 looks just wrong so maybe one of our mail clients is truncating 
lines or messing up the file somehow.  I'm posting all this from windoze 
(long story) and windoze and linux use a different default line ending 
in text files (cr&lf  opposed to just cr) so maybe if you're looking at 
it in Mandrake the lines might be getting juggled because of that.  Try 
looking at the original post :

http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/1997/debian-user-199711/msg01752.html

and see if anything looks obviously out of sync.  (the backslashes at 
the end of some lines are escape characters that tell the shell that 
this is actually one long line but has been broken up for readability or 
to fit on the screen or page better.)

I've just posted the scripts here :  
http://www3.telus.net/bikim/chkmirror/ 

_01 is mine,  _orig is the original, and _v2 is the authors next version.

I really wish I knew more about bash scripting... I
looked thru the most recent mandrake script you
provided and it almost appears that there is a
misplaced ' or ` character... I dunno, that's just how
it appeared to me.  Let me know if I can be of any
more  help to you in addition to testing the scripts
here.
