Hi, I found something strange when I tried to download the latest version of php from my mirror (fr2.php.net). I used wget to do it : ftp:~# wget http://fr.php.net/do_download.php?download_file=php-4.2.0.tar.bz2 --16:05:10-- http://fr.php.net:80/do_download.php?download_file=php-4.2.0.tar.bz2 => `do_download.php?download_file=php-4.2.0.tar.bz2' Connecting to fr.php.net:80... connected! HTTP request sent, awaiting response... And then it stopped for more than a minute before starting to download the file. First I thougt I had a problem with my mirror, but that was the case on any mirror I tried. I then went to see what was exactly in do_download.php, and I saw that it was making a connection to www.php.net : $remote_log = @fopen("http://www.php.net/log_download.php". "?download_file=" . urlencode($download_file). "&mirror=" . urlencode($SERVER_NAME). "&user_referer=" . urlencode($HTTP_REFERER). "&user_ip=" . urlencode($remote_addr), 'r'); I commented the line, and tried wget again, and the download was immediate. Did I make or mistake when configuring my mirror or is this normal ? In the last case I don't see the usefullness of having mirrors if you have to connect to the main site even if you are downloading from a mirror site.
