Mainly, it's curiosity. I know-fer-a-fact I saw a list of physical
locations back when 4.x was the latest release. Probably been
deleted.
fastest_cvsup usually tells me #17 is fastest, but it times out a
lot, I
mean A LOT, from here.
Fastest, (in this case) != most reliable.
Can you produce the output of fastest_cvsup, include the top two
results
(add #17 if it isn't included), and then provide the output of a
traceroute to #17?

For some reason, traceroute has never worked on any of my *nix boxes.
There are soooo many reasons that might cause that. Too many to go
into, but mostly the way I set up my lan, the router settings and
options, etc.
I have 2 FreeBSD, a Mac, and an XP machine.
On the XP machine, tracert times out after 12 hops, however the ip did
resolve to.....
"THE WEATHER CHANNEL" - ncvsup.twc.waether.com
That in itself may be reason enough for the timeouts...?
Perhaps you have a faulty asymmetric path to 17...
It is important to know that just because a server may be literally
located at the building across the street, it doesn't mean that you
are
guaranteed a path that may not cross the country (and in some
situations, across an ocean) and back.
I don't know where you are located, but generally, I've found cvsup8
to
be extremely quick (in terms of latency) and very reliable for a
number
of years.
I'm in Central West Tennessee.
