My port survey revealed that ftp.[eu.]uu.net and gatekeeper.dec.com have
chronic failures. Further research confirmed the uu.net servers are not
even on the official mirrors page anymore. While gatekeeper is still on
the list, it has continuously had more URLs fail than work. Most
recently 70 failures out of 120.
Attached patch replaces all three servers with a geographically diverse
mix of better performing servers.
Questions?
