I dug at my old mail archives and found a conversation between me and the maintainers of mirror.pscigrid.gov.ph (e-Science Grid.) Looks like that mirror is gone now, but IIRC they're connected to Preginet, and it was very fast back then IIRC. Their only trouble was that they ran out of storage, and due to some goings on back then it was hard for them to get additional storage. Pinging mirror.pregi.net from where I am now give me around ~370ms latency: zakame@ironhide:~% ping -c 10 mirror.pregi.net PING mirror.pregi.net (202.90.158.192) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 202.90.158.192: icmp_req=1 ttl=48 time=370 ms 64 bytes from 202.90.158.192: icmp_req=2 ttl=48 time=392 ms 64 bytes from 202.90.158.192: icmp_req=3 ttl=48 time=380 ms 64 bytes from 202.90.158.192: icmp_req=4 ttl=48 time=251 ms 64 bytes from 202.90.158.192: icmp_req=5 ttl=48 time=382 ms 64 bytes from 202.90.158.192: icmp_req=6 ttl=48 time=342 ms 64 bytes from 202.90.158.192: icmp_req=7 ttl=48 time=264 ms 64 bytes from 202.90.158.192: icmp_req=8 ttl=48 time=272 ms 64 bytes from 202.90.158.192: icmp_req=9 ttl=48 time=219 ms 64 bytes from 202.90.158.192: icmp_req=10 ttl=48 time=370 ms --- mirror.pregi.net ping statistics --- 10 packets transmitted, 10 received, 0% packet loss, time 9010ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 219.512/324.596/392.203/61.973 ms -- Zak B.
