You could ping each of them and see which has the lowest
ping time.
Every one rejects ping. Still, I think I'll use the one I know to be in
Europe,
http://depot-trinity.dotriver.eu/trinity/ . I used to use it, but
stopped for some reason and switched to
http://mirror.ntmm.org/trinity/ . I
can't remember why.
It isn't just in Europe: it is in France. It may well be my nearest mirror.
The nearest point of land in France is about 60 miles away.
Could it be added to the list of mirrors?
I have actually been looking on Google, and both kuiper and copernicus come up
as being at the University of Kent. That seems a little strange, to host the
mirror twice at Kent University. I'll try those if dotriver isn't
satisfactory.
dotriver is in Lyon, which is further from me than Kent (485.6 miles to 117.5
miles), but I still think I'll try it first. I haven't got on well with the
University of Kent mirror in the past. If it hosts everything twice, under
two different names, that could explain a lot!
Thanks, this has been a most instructive excercise.
