Speed changes ? How much more can you get using 2Mbps max here in India ? The RS servers are surely capable of more than that easily.
I do know everything, just not all at once. Its a Virtual Memory Problem.

Don't download from VSNL mirror, it has the worst speed. You might be tempted to use it since about 70% of the bandwidth is usually available on the VSNL network at any time of the day or night, but still speeds are slow.

That Makes it Hard to belive in Blogs as i found this "VSNL Mirror is not the VSNL in India its a Network in Germany" in another Blog. I Guess a CNN IBN Guy is more trust worthy :)

Uhm.. you know the thing they say about journalists...

Okay, I am the guy who wrote the post about the Indian mirror and being an employee of a news channel does not make me any more trustworthy than other bloggers ;-)

In any case, I am not writing on their behalf, it is my personal blog.

Back to the story, whoever made the point about the mirror being in .DE is right and I should have done an additional level of fact-checking. It is hosted in Europe, on the VSNL International network(formerly known as TeleGlobe) and I've posted an update.

Thanks for the heads up!
