They fetch files from origin sources on the fly, mostly from Canada (for fastly/cloudflare) or USA (VDMS). Frequently fetched files can get cached for a bit but if you're somewhere far from the origin they are still not great. Usually better than connected directly to a far-away site (they do keepalives so there are fewer delays, and the network path is usually not too bad) but not as good as a real mirror. Worth a try but don't expect magic (and there can be caching problems with snapshots). > Addresses are : > Fastly (CDN) > https://cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/ > Cloudflare (CDN) > https://cloudflare.cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/ > Verizon Digital Media Services (CDN) > https://mirror.vdms.com/pub/OpenBSD/ > > > 19 Oct 2020, 14:13 by zp6...@gmx.net: > >> Hello y'all, >> Thank you for 6.8 and a painless way to upgrade. >> Just out of curiosity and as a sidenote: downloading from Brazil was >> always faster for me than from Canada or Europe. >> Is there any information available about what happened to the South >> American mirrors of Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay?
