Who cares? When I think of "local" in terms of an update mirror, all

to point B in the quickest and most reliable fashion IS important. I
don't understand why you're so hung up on server location as physical
geography is becoming less and less relevant as the world becomes
more and more wired.
If you read my earlier posts, you might have noticed terms like
"download limits."
Most users don't have "all you can eat" plans, and if they exceed
their quota they can be charged extra ($60-120 per gigabyte) or br
throttled back to modemesque speeds.
What on Earth does that have to do with anything? You've got poor
connectivity or expensive connectivity or both in the "last mile" part
of your link to the Internet. How is changing the mirroring system
going to help you or others like you?
