Hi.
Browsing from Spain, automatic mirror selection based on Directi Ip-to-Country Database, moves us to http://es.php.net.
Unfortunately, that mirror is very slow: about 40 seconds to load home page, even if we are one of the 3 fastest ISP on the country AND mirror is in our country. It is better and 20 times faster for us to navigate directly to www.php.net. The problem is that every page we ask to www.php.net, goes to es.php.net, no matter if we change "es" with "www" in address bar. ¿Is it possible to
a) offer country determination as a default option BUT give users the chance to stop it and select their prefered mirror?
b) ask for minimal performance to mirrors?
tia.
