Yes, of course -- but here we are concerned with the average speeds using default settings, for the largest number of users. We can't provide a fixed ordering that works well for everyone, but the heuristics Dmitry used last time are mentioned throughout the thread starting with: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2009-September/056783.html One thing I noticed in my last change to the Sourceforge list is that some mirrors are still performing well despite being taken off Sourceforge's list of official mirrors. b.
