[blag-whereto] Interesting discovery...

[Homer]

I just discovered by accident, that my hosting provider also hosts a
Fedora mirror:

http://mirrors.bluehost.com/fedora/releases/9/

This should make syncing rather quick :)

@slated.org [~/]# tracepath mirrors.bluehost.com

 1:  rtr-1.bluehost.com (69.89.16.1)		131.380ms
 2:  mirrors.bluehost.com (74.220.195.111)	0.240ms reached
     Resume: pmtu 1500 hops 2 back 2

@slated.org [~/]# wget

100%[=====================================>] 120,438,784   30.38M/s

That's around 240Mb/s, which is about 60 times faster than my ADSL.
