One more important issue I wanted to raise.
I use broadband connection and when I traceroute to in.php.net, the route
goes to USA and comes back to India.
Which means Website of www.php.net is faster than website of in.php.net
and USA based website takes less hops than the Indian website.
This is one of the reason why we should have mirror on different network
which will resolve this issue.
Once again keeping BOTH MIRRORS at SAME place, doesnt solve any purpose
and for me, USA based website www.php.net is much faster than indian mirror.
If both mirrors are to be kept at same place, we better call them BACKUP
sites rather than MIRRORS. The decision of keeping both mirror at one place
doesnt seem to have any technical advantage of mirroring.
