Hi there,
I have to install and update a lot of stuff of eclipse. In the install
and update dialogs you can select "automatically selct mirrors" feature.
This seems to select a mirror randomly, usually a mirror far away from
me with bad performance.
Can I somehow tell eclipse to always select the same mirror if it is
available? (e.g. some mirror in germany)
Best regards,
Hauke

AFAIK it tries to pick a mirror that's close. For me it tends to
consistently pick University of Waterloo (which is a reasonably good
pick). However, the selection algorithm is only as good as the data it
uses and it, unfortunately, isn't always able to make a good choice.
