I would like to propose something for ftp.kernel.org.... create ftp1.kernel.org, ftp2.kernel.org, etc.. that way, it will be like Netscape's site (I never just use ftp.netscape.com, I ping them and find the one with the best ping time, and ftp it down.)
Then, on www.kernel.org, create a big list of all the servers and their locations..
like so:
ftp1.kernel.org (USA - San Jose, CA) ftp2.kernel.org (USA - Seattle, WA) ftp3.kernel.org (USA - New York, NY) ftp4.kernel.org (USA - Boston, MA) ftp5.kernel.org (Finland - Helsinki)
etc... And make them all a-href's to the site/srcdirectory combination.
My thoughts. Raymond W. Lucke IV
