HTTP mirror of non-us??
The script I use to download .deb files uses libwww-perl, which is
apparently not very effective for FTP connections. I typically get
speeds of 2-2.5 kB/s using HTTP and 0.3 using FTP (this is over a 2.88
kB/s connection). Is there an HTTP site where I can download non-us
packages? The only site I know of is ftp://nonus.debian.org. (I
download my regular hamm files from http://www.cdrom.com)
Any help would be most appreciated. Also, is there any hope of
convincing the owners of www.debian.org to include a mirror of
ftp.debian.org on their HTTP server?
