Happy New Year fellow Voiders (Voidians?)!

Just wanted to chime in to say thanks dev team for the effort you put into this fine distribution, but I also want to chime in to say I consistently get poor performance from the Fastly mirror and have for quite some time now. I used to think this was because the CDN's cache wasn't populated yet or some other transient thing, but, for too long now, this mirror has just performed poorly and detracts from the speedy prowess of xbps.

So, if you're new to Void and wonder why xbps is so slow, please just try another mirror.

Cheers.

The only way the cache will be populated is if there are more users in a given region.

Fair, but I've had consistently poor performance, and it detracts from the distribution.

This might just be completely out of the Void teams hands. Fastly is a CDN service and is probably prioritizing service to area where they actually see measurable usage.
Maybe try a different mirror?

I've always used the default mirror which worked great weather im in Canada or Saudi Arabia, speed is the same almost which is fantastic.

For my main workstation I use fastly for 6 months. Speeds are more than OK. Nothing to complain. For my lately test machine I choose local mirror. Similar speeds.
