The only (little) issue with this approach is that english alphabetical order is often different from localized alphabetical order. Since mirror sites are taken sequentially and then translated we end up with a pseudo-random ordered list (for example Hungary -> Korea in Italian is Ungheria -> Corea). -- Alex Dupre sysadmin@alexdupre.com http://www.alexdupre.com/ alex@sm.FreeBSD.org Today's excuse: fractal radiation jamming the backbone
