Alexey, You are not the first one who is asking me to "make things better=E2=80=9D= . The problem is that to my experience they are not better at all. This = port used to stick to NVIDIA master sites in the past and it did not = work well. For example at least top site from the list was having a trouble with = serving 404 error back just stalling connection instead. I recall couple of cases when tar balls were rolled out inplace and then = not pushed to other mirrors. At the same time ftp links I use are the only once which are officially = provided for this port. They always work well. So it is hard to me to buy your argument of having two extra http = mirrors to be an advantage. If you fee like go and fight with Nvidia IT yourself please go and do = it. I will appreciate that. Otherwise I=E2=80=99d prefer to stay where the things are. All the best, Alexander.
