In your location I would use one of the mirrorservice.org mirrors
as they are capably administered by the University of Kent.
One of those is down. Permanently?? I have in the past found the University
of Kent mirror rather unreliable, but I had in fact already decided to give
the one that is up (kuiper) a chance. Just pinging mirrorservice.org was
slower than pinging dotriver.eu. But kuiper.mirrorservice.org was noticably
quicker. Kent being inconsistent or a real difference?
A pity you couldn't comment earlier. And if you knew that the two Kent ones
were in Kent, you could have said so, especially if you consider them capably
administered - something I was specifically asking about. You have been
unwilling to give a recommendation, so I had to use a pin.
I like France, and its infrastructure, which is far better and more reliable
than ours, so I chose France. Especially as it was suggested by Slávek and I
have always found Slávek's advice extremely reliable.
Apparently the pin was not successful. That was why I asked in the first
place.
