Yes. The sites should be randomized so that the load (and possibly breakage) is spread. The way it is now, the first site listed bears the major part of ports-induced downloads. This would make the Irish Heanet site suffer most of the SourceForge-related downloads for port installs. I consider this unfair. If the ports system had tried to re-fetch (after broken checksum) from a different site, the download would have succeeded BTW. And no, I have nothing to do with Heanet, I'm just worried because they are on top of your list. Besides, there are more European download sites for SF, for instance, Switch and Cesnet. -- Matthias Andree Encrypt your mail: my GnuPG key ID is 0x052E7D95
