RE: Error due to the "Automatic Mirror Select" function...

Hi, I've been playing around again, and I'm noticing that GeoIP is faster than the direct ip-to-country db. with geoip root@mimbari:~/geoip# php -q findsavage.php 12.253.53.226 Country is United States Lookup of the IP took 0.0390640497208 seconds. root@mimbari:~/geoip# php -q findsavage.php 193.0.0.203 Country is Netherlands Lookup of the IP took 0.0614559650421 seconds. with directi ip-to-country: root@mimbari:~/directi# php -q findsavage.php 12.253.53.226 [directi] Person is located in United States Lookup of the IP took 16.8583329916 seconds and 3 db searches. root@mimbari:~/directi# php -q findsavage.php 193.0.0.203 [directi] Person is located in Netherlands Lookup of the IP took 0.520069003105 seconds and 1 db search. I'm using a Pentium 200Mhz box atm for testing. Will scp the files to the 1600Mhz box and test shortly.
