We have asked them to use a different mirror, but several of them (in my own testing) appear to have the same problem. For a user attempting to get source code, it can be a frustrating experience, which ultimately leads to admit defeat and walk away.
I guess my main point was: is there a way to only show mirrors which are up-to-date? Alternatively, should non-up-to-date mirrors be removed from the rotation? (They can hardly be considered "mirrors" if they don't accurately reflect reality.) -Hyrum On Tue, Jun 14, 2011 at 9:15 AM, Tony Stevenson <pct...@apache.org> wrote: > > Hyrum, > > Looks like that mirror is badly out of date.
