No worries.  I use the US servers because to the best of my knowledge, 
they're the most reliable, although they may not be the fastest in 
everyone's case, so  I'm not surprised that you experienced that.  The 
worst mirror servers I've ever seen are the ones in $in-gapore - 
countless people have reported that they don't even work for residents 
of that country! *Lol*
