IMHO the fact that you contribute to PEAR and/or PHP has nothing to do with the fact that your mirror is slow. And if a faster and better (I dont believe your ADSL line is more stable then the mirror server @ trueserver, with atleast 5 transits and connected to 4 peering points) mirror applies I think your mirror should be replaced. Its better in every way the user that needs mirrors cares: Its faster and probably more stable. > I'm also busy to move the mirror to my work, where we do have an a > E3-line.

From nl1 and nl3 I get speed of over 8 megabytes/sec. > I'm an active PHP supporter and i give every two weeks a workshop > about PHP and HTML/CSS for the Rijnmond department (including > Rotterdam) of HCC (a nation wide computer magazine/club). Like I said, very nice that you do this. but it has nothing to do with the fact that your mirror is pretty slow. > If i hand over the mirror, can i still sync with the PHP master, > because I'm using the mirror as a local reference/work bank.
