Re: php.net mirror

Hi Dominic,

Yes, you have 2 mirrors for germany - I saw it. But you have only one mirror for switzerland. The situation in switzerland is very simple. All internet service providers in switzerland has better connection to germany/frankfurt then to hosting locations in switzerland. This is a reason why most of the webhosting companies in switzerland has their server in germany. In fact I have with my private internet connection a better ping responses from my mirror than from ch2.php.net or ch.php.net.

As you just admitted in this last sentence, you see that there are already two active mirrors in Switzerland. The fact that ch.php.net is not listed currently is because they have an old PHP version (Debian Woody probably), and this is not enough anymore for PHP mirror sites. The fact that we have at least two mirrors in both Germany and Switzerland, means that we are not accepting more. Thanks for your offer anyway. Regards, Gabor Hojtsy
