--- Comment #2 from ctipper <chris.tipper at live.co.uk> ---
I am located in UK and I am continually being directed to pkg0.nyi.freebsd.org
and pkg0.isc.freebsd.org starting this March. This has resulted in very poor
performance running pkg upgrade I should be getting 2Mb/s I seem to only get
100's Kb/s on a regular basis, because these mirrors are too far away.

I am very unfamiliar with DNS but the SRV records I am getting from drill have
equal priority and weight for each of the pkg mirrors. So the selected mirror
is essentially random?

pkgmir.geo.freebsd.org shows this message

> We use MaxMind GeoLite based geo-dns to choose a close mirror for you.

I am afraid I don't believe that any more.
