Greetings, Roger Pack! > It would be awesome if the top option for servers were "auto select > closest" or something like that. How would it know where you are located and how do you define "closest"? The mirrors that are "close" to me give worst speed comparing to the ones across the ocean. > Possibly a web server that would do the redirects for you [?] (or you > could do local pings and see which one answers quickest). Possibly > like what VLC does for its distro's [1] or some other offering already > available. > Related, it would be nice to have a command line option for unattended > install that were "--auto-select-server" for the downloads... > FWIW. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Friday, August 28, 2015 21:22:02 Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
