As you probably already know, in past discussions of the US round robin it was revealed that there weren't enough US mirrors to support the demand and that was the primary reason for including low demand off-shore servers as supplements to handle the over-flow. I don't know whether that situation still exists now that Cisco has assumed responsibility for the network.

Certainly true that Singapore is a long way from Kansas and a quick traceroute revealed a lot of bouncing around ending in considerable latency:

Since I rarely use the ClamAV network for updates these days, I don't have a valid mirrors.dat that shows statistics on 128.199.133.36. Is a high failure rate the basis of your request?
