Bug Description
Dear all,
based on a reply I got from Chris Jones via RT Bug #18202, the choice of a download mirror when a user downloads a CD/DVD is too simple.
As far as I can see, all (German, in my case) mirrors are treated equally. This means that a (hypothetical) mirror with 10 MBit/sec connection gets as many requests as a mirror with 10.000 MBit/sec = 10 GBit/sec connection.
Please take the bandwidth of each mirror into consideration and assign more traffic to mirrors with higher speed (especially ftp.halifax.
Thanks,
Carsten
