In most cases those things are just more than a company, it's a name of a technology and the distributing firm is named xyz. But - you were right - I could take a look before ask. > > Why does it costs many bucks? > > Because the problem is vastly more complicated than you think it > is. :) Can you explain you to me? I don't want a more reliable net, I want a list of mirrors, a local ip <-> get-mirror-server( get-isp( whois-isp( get-local-ip() ) ) ) list and a little more intelligent fetch list basing on these both information. Why this is vastly more complicated. The fetch-list for ports (it's just for the big tarballs in ports, f.e. mozilla, open-office, gnome, ...). I do not see the problems you see. Could you please be more detailed? I mean just a "make nearest-server-list", not a reliable, 100% available network of fast and near mirror servers. If I want that, I install a squid-cluster.
