Yes, I think the Mirrors file is useful:

http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/MIRRORS

GNOME FTP Sites


This site is mirrored in:

Europe:

	http://ftp.unina.it/pub/linux/GNOME/
	http://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/gnome.org/
	ftp://ftp.dit.upm.es/pub/GNOME/
	ftp://ftp.no.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/
	http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/GNOME/
	http://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/ftp.gnome.org/

South America:

	http://linorg.usp.br/gnome/

Australia:

	http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/GNOME/

United States and Canada:

	http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/gnome/
	ftp://ftp.cse.buffalo.edu/pub/Gnome/

Asia:

	ftp://ftp.nara.wide.ad.jp/pub/X11/GNOME/


Fairly useful for tweaking gar.gnome.mk for regional use...

Of course, anything with `mirrors' in the path could itself be a round-
robin dns seeking site. As they say "your mileage may vary."

Thanks for the follow up.
