Kris Kennaway writes: > Try to add another mirror. Speaking of which .... Is there any way to get fetch to try mirror sites in other than the order listed? Case: when building programs hosted on Sourceforge, some of the SF mirrors are _creaking_ slow. By manually fetching with a different site I can reduce download time from (in extreme cases) hours to minutes. I /could/ edit the list of Sourceforge mirrors, but I'd prefer not to meddle unless there's no better solution. Robert Huff
