Attempting to emerge doom3-demo I find that even during non-peak hours the ID Software site is extremely slow (4KB/s -> 15KB/s) to download from. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge doom3-demo 2. Wait an hour or more. Actual Results: Slow (4KB/s -> 15KB/s) download rates, invalid anonymous logins due to maximum connection limits, etc. Expected Results: If a connection to the primary mirror can not be established, another mirror should be selected. After a quick search of the 'net, I discovered two additional mirros: http://3dgxfer1.3dgamers.com/^1813987518/3dgamers/games/doom3/doom3-linux-1.1.1286-demo.x86.run http://www.hup.hu/~trey/DOOM3/doom3-linux-1.1.1286-demo.x86.run Though the second is likely a personal site and should not be used in production, it was substantially faster than the first.
xs4all.nl is already used as a mirror 3dgamers doesnt allow external linkage
Ehh... actually we can link to them, and have 3dgamers already setup in thirdpartymirrors... Under normal circumstances, I would have probably closed this myself without doing anything, but it's only a 1-line fix to add all the 3dgamers mirrors into the rotation.
Added 3dgamers mirrors
