Hi there, A few friends in China are trying to find a fast mirror for FC and then I find that there are zero mirrors in mainland China though there are a few in Hong Kong and Taiwan. I'd like to see this situation improved. Can anyone give me some pointers? I will try my best to help out.

But they are not public to the world. So I won't post them. As far as I know, there are far more mirrors for Debian and Ubuntu and I have no idea why.

I follow closely in some Chinese communities. Would you list the mirrors (vs other distributions) and contact points offlist if needed? We can followup and see if we can get more mirrors in those regions. Rahul
