Re: "Lag" or mirrors

Hey, that's my preferred mirror... Now everyone will be using it!

I think the bigger issue with many, errr, some people are the people
updating the RPM packages. For example, gmc is at v4.5.29, dated March 30.
At the mirrors (the one below, for instance), they have v4.5.27, dated March
23. Gnome-libs is at v1.0.6; mirrors have v1.0.3. Gnome-core is at v1.0.4,
dated March 26; the RPM is v1.0.3, dated March 23.

I have no problem compiling packages myself. With something like Gnome that
is being updated so often (improved, bug fixes, etc), RPM packages make life
real easy -- at least for me!
