Hi Neil,
I am attempting to download the 4.3.9. installer for Windows. I get directed to the uk mirror which tells me it is not set up and to pick another mirror. I pick another mirror which takes me to the homepage of that mirror site. I click downloads, select the windows installer, which then directs me to the UK MIRROR, which tells me it is not set up and to pick another mirror. I pick another mirror which takes me to the homepage of that mirror site. I click downloads, select the windows installer, which then directs me to the UK MIRROR, which tells me it is not set up and to pick another mirror....... I think you probably get the picture by now?
If you initiate a download on a mirror site (not (www.)php.net), then it will not redirect you to a mirror site. I cannot reproduce your problem: 1. Gone to http://uk2.php.net/ 2. Clicked on downloads 3. Got http://uk2.php.net/downloads.php 4. Selected windows installer 5. Got http://uk2.php.net/get/php-4.3.9-installer.exe/from/a/mirror 6. This page lists mirror sites all over the world 7. Now it is up to me to select a mirror site Regards, Gabor Hojtsy
