I think I could arrange things so that -stable is mirrored once a day and -current more often, but just now I don't have to time to do anything (the whole supping system at nic needs some minor modifications). Our (FUNET - the Finnish University Network) lines to USA are quite good (8MB to Stockholm and from there a shared 24MB + 4 MB to USA) so supping at day times makes sense (just now (16:00 GMT) ftp transfer speed from ftp.cdrom.com was 50 KB/s :-) Btw, I don't think that rotating sup servers using name server is a good idea, because every sup server has different set of file ctimes and sup would update (not receive, though) every file every time the server changes.. ..vode
