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

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.
