Yes, I am quite aware of it, but I am merely the messenger. Until other subversion mirrors are made available in other parts of the world, only the two in the US are available. I'm sure that will change in time, but for the moment, only the two US mirrors have been announced. For now, if it is not clear which is closer, you can ping to see which has the faster response. In my case, us-west is about 20 ms away while us-east is 100. If you have a well connected server in another part of the world, I assume the project would be happy to have another mirror made available. Note that the full repository is quite large. There are clearly security issues, too. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer E-mail: kob6558@gmail.com
