Did you try http.us.debian.org? That's a round-robin DNS record dor several servers; there's a package whose name escapes me that will allow you to find the "best" one. Feel free to check out debian.midco.net; if it's fast for you use it :) We're a primary-push mirror. : Has Debian gotten too popular for its infrastructure? Possibly - it's hard to maintain "fast" net-access across the Internet as a whole. The infrastructure of the Internet itself grows in complexity every day as well ... : I may actually be able to offer some mirror space in the near term, : but not right now. There's a debian-mirrors list in addition to the mirror info on the web page. -- Nathan Norman MidcoNet 410 South Phillips Avenue Sioux Falls, SD mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.midco.net finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP Key: (0xA33B86E9)
