It may pick a close mirror automagically,
but it might not pick the most efficient.

In my tests, I have found choosing a mirror
hundreds of miles away is faster than a
mirror in my immediate area.

changing the warranty expiration date with a 15/64-inch felt-tipped

I appreciated the URL - it's just that the light dawned before I read
your post. It's a strange phenomenon that the best way to discover the
solution for one's self is to ask on usenet. Always, just after hitting
the send key but before you read replies, the answer hits you. For your
helpfulness, perhaps we can call that "Houghi's Law". :-)

Best...
