I was really just testing as I had loads of problems in the past with my broadband speeds which had been resolved. I just checked the West Coast and that one was fine, considering the distance to the server. The Netherlands and UK mirrors are total junk, is it the same for you? Thanks for testing!

EDIT> Just saw your edit, the UK one has just suddenly picked up speed, although it was still only 2.1 compared to the 6.0 I get everywhere else. I guess they have been having bandwidth issues?

Ah, and does your browser not display the % load (or whatever) for each server? The UK one was at like 80+% (then) and the NL server is still at 95% load. This is just about the antithesis of my field, (come on interwebs, start a topic about pharmaceutical manufacturing so I can be all knowledgeable) but I figure the load accounts for the issues with those two servers - well, that and the laughably low speed of the NL server next to the others.
