Right. This changes from time to time. I've removed ovh and the other slow machines (puzzle,citkit,cogent,voxel) from the server list therefore. BTW, I don't think the script is so bad. It simply checks for the quickest server, and uses this one as default download server. If a package download fails it uses the next one in the server list and so on ... You can see this pretty good in the output of the script. Best regards, Stefan Public Key available ------------------------------------------------------ Stefan Dirsch (Res. & Dev.)
