Maybe we should try and set up something like Tom Christiansen has
running on http://www.perl.com/, where it looks at your incoming download
requests, and redirects you to the nearest mirror?
I'm just throwing this out---although I'm almost 100% certain Tom makes
his package available, I don't have the slightest idea what would be
required to set it up. I suspect that, as a minimum, we would have to
have http:// URLs for those files, rather than ftp. I don't know for
sure, though.
Mike.
