GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 457308
download.gnome.org needs to redirect to the best mirror, not just ftp.gnome.org

Please describe the problem: http:// requests to download.gnome.org needs to redirect to the best mirror (a combination of geographic location and other possible factors), not just to ftp.gnome.org. I think that the manner through which SourceForge does this is best (default to what it thinks is a close mirror, but allow the user to make a cookie-based choice). Finding a solution to this problem may encourage projects whose primary download location is NOT on gnome.org ensure that their packages remain up-to-date on gnome.org servers so that it is known when building GNOME releases. Steps to reproduce: Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:
It would be nice, but ftp.gnome.org already has 2+ gigabit connection. So it is very low priority. Help is appreciated.
Like Mozilla and OpenOffice? http://wiki.mozilla.org/Bouncer http://wiki.osuosl.org/display/Bouncer/Home http://wiki.osuosl.org/display/Bouncer/Bouncer+Walkthrough

The GNOME Infrastructure Team is currently migrating its bug / issue tracker away from Bugzilla to Request Tracker and therefore all the currently open bugs have been closed and marked as OBSOLETE. The following move will also act as a cleanup for very old and ancient tickets that were still living on Bugzilla. If your issue still hasn't been fixed as of today please report it again on the relevant RT queue. More details about the available queues you can report the bug against can be found at https://wiki.gnome.org/Sysadmin/RequestTracker. Thanks for your patience, the GNOME Infrastructure Team
