#24954 [NEW]: Mirror Selection Override

From: php at sharpdreams dot com Operating system: n/a PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Website problem Bug description: Mirror Selection Override Description: ------------ Lately the mirror that php.net automatically selects for me has been running extremely slow. It appears that php.net thinks that that it is directing me to the closest mirror. The closest mirror may not be the fastest mirror for my ISP. I tried to locate a feature (on my php.net) to designate a mirror but could not find one, only a language over-ride. I suggest that an option be put in place (kept track of via cookie) that allows users to force a mirror. That way, I can force my mirror to be us3.php.net and still be able to type in www.php.net/ and be redirected to my prefered mirror. Yes, I realize that I can type in us3.php.net every time, but if I follow a link, etc, it still directs me to the "closest" mirror. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24954&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24954&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24954&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24954&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24954&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24954&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24954&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24954&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24954&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24954&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24954&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24954&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24954&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24954&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24954&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24954&r=gnused
