Look at the mirrors list and try each one and see which is faster and
then try to use them normally. With the way our network is
configured, I have to use a mirror across the country as this is where
our Internet connection is located. :(
We do mirror some of sites here.
For me, I have found that the ftp sites are faster than the www sites.
Some days it is just slow.
