New Comment:
While reviewing my submission I came across the following error.
"We would like to advice you to choose a mirror site close to use in
your everyday work."
The word "advice" should be "advise". The sentence's meaning is a
little unclear. It might be better to mention something about
geographical location rather than "close to use in your ... work".
I suggest:
We suggest you to choose a mirror site geographically close to you.
Things are getting a little bit complicated here. I don't want to sound
like a nut, but I think the whole paragraph needs re-writing. I'll
leave that up to you (unless you'd like me to suggest something).

Fixed summary, it referred to the wrong page (brain fart). The page

Description:
------------
"This means that you don't loose anything, if you go with a local
mirror site, but you gain speed."
The word "loose" means something along the lines of "not fitting". I
think the word "loose" should be replaced by "lose", being the verb
form of "lost".
The first comma in the sentence is redundant -- the sentence reads
better without it.
Suggested fix:
"This means that you don't lose anything if you go with a local mirror
site, but you gain speed."
