[Slackbuilds-users] Suggestion for Sourceforge mirrors

Hi,

More often than not, packages can't be downloaded from the various 
Sourceforge mirrors.

One exception I noticed: the Switch mirror 
(http://switch.dl.sourceforge.net) is *always* reachable, at least in my 
experience over the last few years. Is it that the swiss are so good at 
serving files than they are at making wristwatches? Who knows?

Suggestion: use a direct link to the switch mirror for SF-hosted source 
tarballs.

Cheers,

Niki
