RE: [webmin-l] Slow Update Downloads

[<dav...@da...>]

Hey Jamie,

Thanks this fixed a complaint from one of our users as well.  Apparently
they were concerned the server was overloaded (ours not the download) one.

Hi John,
This download is probably slow because Webmin is using the default
sourceforge
mirror site, osdn.dl.sourceforge.net . You can configure it to use a faster
mirror
in future by going to the Webmin Configuration module, clicking on Proxy
Servers and
Downloads, and selecting a closer mirror from the 'Preferred OSDN mirror for
downloads'
menu.
