some of the update mirrors are no good either.. in fact the downloads
are pretty slow.
The mirrors are all fine. Many only sync once a day, so as it says in
the release announcement it will be 24 hours before they all have the
files. All but one have them as of now.
Speed-wise, it depends on where you are and what mirror you're using. In
the US, the untouchable.net and NCSA mirrors are very fast from several
different ISP's I routinely use. I've been able to pull more than 10 Mb
from them. Some of the others, especially in Asia are very slow from
here, but that's normal for servers that are extremely far away in parts
of the world that don't have exceptional connectivity to the rest of the
world. If you use a server that's geographically close to you, you
should have no issues at all.
Paul, you appear to be in the UK, I think we have a UK mirror that will
be online later today which should be faster for you. Though I would
guess the other mirrors in Europe are probably not bad from the UK.
