By making the change in the summary above, you are utilizing the DNS load balancing bit. %% host distfiles.gentoo.org distfiles.gentoo.org has address 64.50.238.52 distfiles.gentoo.org has address 64.50.236.52 distfiles.gentoo.org has address 216.165.129.135 distfiles.gentoo.org has address 156.56.247.195 distfiles.gentoo.org has address 140.211.166.134 Instead of "picking" on one server. Also, this introduces redundancy in our docs if osuosl ever goes down. However, I do not know what else references this so I will let you decide. %% cvs diff gentoo-x86-quickinstall-stage.xml Index: gentoo-x86-quickinstall-stage.xml =================================================================== RCS file: /var/cvsroot/gentoo/xml/htdocs/doc/en/gentoo-x86-quickinstall-stage.xml,v retrieving revision 1.5 diff -u -r1.5 gentoo-x86-quickinstall-stage.xml --- gentoo-x86-quickinstall-stage.xml 24 Jul 2008 04:28:02 -0000 1.5 +++ gentoo-x86-quickinstall-stage.xml 1 Nov 2008 01:35:41 -0000 @@ -38,7 +38,7 @@ stage3 of your choice, probably the i686 stage3 and press D to download it)</comment> <comment>(<b>Or</b> download it directly with wget without choosing a nearby mirror)</comment> -livecd gentoo # <i>wget ftp://gentoo.osuosl.org/pub/gentoo/releases/x86/2008.0/stages/stage3-i686*tar.bz2</i> +livecd gentoo # <i>wget http://distfiles.gentoo.org/releases/x86/2008.0/stages/stage3-i686-2008.0.tar.bz2</i> </pre> <pre caption="Unpack the stage3 archive">
