Thanks. The original mail was send by me long back before I subscribed 
to this list and has been struck on the moderation queue for a while I 
guess. I did find this page and added a note on source packages. It 
would very useful if the individual mirrors had a note clearly marking 
the type of access (http/ftp/rynsc), repositories (core/extras), 
architecture, source and binary packages and other details so users can 
quickly understand which mirror carry the content they want and how to 
access them.
