In every university in South AFrica (and probably Africa) you can only get proxied internet. I'm the one enforcing it. Unsetting http_proxy will give you no internet access. Almost all other African universities I have visited too. The lower the bandwidth, the more likely it is. Unless it is so low that they haven't even started proxying yet. Then it is mostly unusable. It poses quite a problem for this. It might be better like ubuntu which during install chooses your country's mirror. SAGE could use some geolocation thing to redirect to your continent's mirror? Unless the user overrides it? regards, Jan -- .~. /V\ Jan Groenewald /( )\ www.aims.ac.za ^^-^^ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
