mirrors question

[stosss]

I am in the South East USA. The Georgia Tech mirror is the closet one to me AFAIK. Over the past 7 years I have never had positive results with any servers for any reason from that location.

Some of the mirrors in the list do not have anything in the URL that makes their physical location known.

Is there a list that tells where all the mirrors are actually located?

or would it be better to just commit out the GENTOO_MIRRORS variable and let the system find one all the time?

I am building Gentoo on 2 boxes and picked the Wisconsin location for one and the Georgia location for the other and there seems to be some difference.

You could try doing trace routes to the mirrors that seem like they would be close (or all of them if you make either a script or are masochistic) to determine which ones are in closer proximity to you. Proximity on the internet has more to do with latencies and network utilization than it has to do with physical location, so where they are physically located does not really matter.
