Patton" <MAP@POBOX.com> From: "Sean M. Doran" <smd@clock.org> Date: Tue, 18 Aug 1998 03:43:06 -0700 Many archive sites direct people to mirrors topologically closer to them, ... Actually, most of the ones that do this with text the user is supposed to understand, direct5 people to sites taht are GEOGRAPHICALLY closer. Sometimes this is the right thing, and sometimes it isn't. Schemes such as Exodus and others use, actually do produce the topologically closer server, and that is, in fact, better...and doesn't require the user to think (in this stage of growth, that's a good thing :-). -MAP
