<p>This probably relates back to the DNS thread from a week or two ago. I bet you are using a DNS service other than your ISP's.</p>

I was trying to download some Ubuntu ISO's. Ubuntu.com no longer lists<br>
the mirror sites on their site, but uses an automated routing system to<br>
pick a mirror that's supposed to be close to you. However, I kept<br>
getting sites in the UK and they were slow as tar. I got so fed up that<br>
I started searching around for other mirrors. I found the following<br>
list of mirrors (not sure if it's "official"):<br>
<br>

>From this list, I tested all the ones in the USA that are supposed to<br>
have over 1 Gbps bandwidth. Surprisingly, some of these are slow as tar<br>
too. The ones below are the ones that made my Hall of Fame. These were<br>
able to consistently maintain over 10 Mbps download speed. My cable<br>
modem taps out at 16-20 Mbps, so, anything faster than that, I have no<br>
way of testing. Anyway, I thought I'd pass this along so the rest of<br>
you don't have to wait 4 hours to download an ISO.<br>

call on the phone. I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy<br>
mailing lists and such. I don't always see new messages very quickly.)<br>
