Manuel-- That same link http://www.phpclasses.org/mirrors.html?closest thinks I'm in Australia:Hey, but if you really try hard, you can convince yourself that you are really in Australia! :-)
Your approximate location: City: State: Country: Australia Longitude: 135° East Latitude: 25° South But I'm really in South Florida: 80° West 26.5° North!! (I've got a Covad IP: 68.165.13.xxx) But truth is, geographical coordinates aren't all that important. I've just finished doing traceroutes on the phpclasses mirrors on the east coast. You would think I would connect fastest to Atlanta (14 hops) or Reston (12 hops) or New York (15 hops). Nope. Bloomsburg, Peennsylvania, takes the prize at just 9 hops!Sure, this is a better than nothing solution for people that are not sure where would be faster. Usually people are presented with the list of mirrors worldwide and they pick up the one they think they are closer. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/
