I don't see a problem! Sl�vek's stuff isn't "unstable". It is release ready, just not yet released. Even a large project like Debian sometimes has mirror-syncing "problems". The slowness problem has been solved as Sl�vek said. Which will also solve the syncing problem because the redirector will choose the mirror. The only problem is, as Sl�vek says on the user's list, that not everyone is yet using mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org as is now recommended. https://www.trinitydesktop.org/ https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/DebianInstall (For Debian) (Mutatis mutandis.)
