Our primary mirrorservice.org mirror *was* working a couple days before release as far as I could tell. Then it just stopped downloading R14 packages and started re-downloading the CD images--it still hasn't gotten around to downloading the remaining R14 packages. In addition it downloads each file at least twice, sometimes more. As a result of these issues I am looking to replace the primary mirror. The mirroring architecture is such that our primary mirror downloads directly from the TDE servers, then all secondary mirrors download from the primary. Adding additional mirrors therefore does not increase the load on the limited TDE server uplink.
