People need to use mirrors (I'm trying to get sourceforge signed up as
a mirror but it might need to wait a few weeks until I'm working there
- I tried to send email, didn't get a response, and haven't pressed
the point).
As for mirrors being out of date, does the cygwin mirror polling
script test for up-to-date-ness? Someone(TM) should look into what it
would take to use that script site-wide (to test for mirrors being up
even if it can't deal with staleness).

I've been noticing this too (slow times from traceroute and web too).
It probably means that we need to restrict the number of anonymous FTP
users even further, although I haven't looked at the statistics lately.
The underlying issue, of course, is that sourceware's T1 is maxxed out
(see graphs and numbers at
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/sourceware/net.html ).
As I've said before (in some contexts in a half-joking manner), I
suspect VA might be willing to help somehow (with the sourceforge
mirror being the simplest way - I've already discussed that part with
them). People who are planning to stay at Red Hat beyond 1 Jul will
need to think about what kinds of offers of help would be acceptable
to Red Hat, and what other solutions are possible.
I think I asked whether Apple had any interest in setting up a mirror.
Not justified based on xconq, I'm sad to say, but for GCC and
what-not. Maybe that particular one isn't a good idea, but if
sourceware is really going to be a collaboration between various
companies, we need to figure out how to make that happen in a
financial sense.
I don't know, maybe just asking the right person (sysadmin? Kim?) in
Red Hat (with a case about how Red Hat customers rely on the site) is
all it would take. But the nice thing about leaving is that I get to
seek another sucker for duties like that one :-).
