All mirrors should be updating atleast once an hour, I don't know why
the Slovenian mirror isn't.
The maintainer is CCed and he'll fix it ASAP, or Dan will probably
nuke his mirror :)

If you open up the file you'll see this is the mirror selection page.
You can pick which mirror you want to download from.

We haven't changed this for years so this method of fetching
"/from/a/mirror" has never resulted in getting the actual archive..
You need to "/from/*this*/mirror" or "/from/[XXX].php.net/mirror"


And please try to use the apropriate mailinglists ... internals@ has
nothing to do with the mirroring or the webiste. The php-mirrors@ and
php-webmaster@ do :]
