Description (last modified by )
I've placed a simple csv onto our "central" haikuports repository with a listing of known / trusted mirrors.
http://eu.hpkg.haiku-os.org/haikuports/master/repository/x86_64/current/mirrors.txt
Proposed Format:
country,city,mirror provider,mirror provider website,mirror location
I just used the information SourceForge provided about mirrors years ago as a template. Let me know if anyone has alternate ideas/changes/additions.
Ubuntu / Debian used to (and still do?) have a tool to show the "fastest mirror provider" to your location. At minimum though we might just want to "give users a choice"
We already have the app to manage repositories... maybe it could check the "original repository" for a mirrors file and provide the user some options to use?

Added .txt extension to URL, so it displays in browser rather than being downloaded automatically.
