From 7f61482c7fcf0c870fbe950751b90fa3d4dda251 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ruby Iris Juric Date: Sat, 4 Oct 2025 21:53:41 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] refactor: use ftpmirror.gnu.org for gnu packages (#26) https://ftp.gnu.org is very, *very* slow. From the [GNU downloads page](https://www.gnu.org/prep/ftp.en.html): > [...]please try to use one of the many mirrors of our site listed below: the mirrors will give you faster response. [...] You can use the generic URLs https://ftpmirror.gnu.org and http://ftpmirror.gnu.org to automatically choose a nearby and up-to-date mirror. Indeed, in my experience the mirrors are much faster. I don't see a reason we shouldn't default to them personally, so I've changed the default here.
