Hi Denis,
yes, it is meant to be ambigous and the task of the user is
to transform it
into an unambiguous url. Maybe "favourite mirror" is not
the best way of
putting it, do you have better idea?
And yes, lines in /etc/apt/sources.list can be commented,
but then they do not
work. So one really has to select a preferred mirror from
the long list. I
hope the years of confusion are over for you now.
Kind regards,
Johannes

I confirm that having one's _favorite mirror_ as an
ambiguous (it is illogical for someone who tries to
lead to
_years_ lasting confusion (a server's overload lasts
case, not months) :
can lines in apt's adress book be commented (I bet
a server )? like virc -with quotes- or bashrc -with #-
I suppose if there were a realistic commented out
adress and a comment like
"adapt me" the world would be easier...
Have nice days

Ted,
I think you are not the only one that is annoyed

the main CRAN server in Vienna, and network load
general. I think this is
worth the effort, except if the CRAN

trouble you have had
- I will try to use this information to improve

Regarding the timeout of the keyserver, at least
Vincent Goulet have had
problems with timeouts as well, so I added the
that Dirk
suggested.
I just re-read what we now have in the README on
APT. I believe Dirk is
right that you missed to make the key known to
system at first, and it
seems the README was not clear enough here. I
this part and it is
on the way to CRAN.
Kind regards,
