So far I had two package installations today, one was ghc-pandoc,
which worked okay with the caching mirror but I wasn't able to
complete it using the caching mirror (2 last packages had issues
I can't recall, after some repeated attempts I used hydra.gnu.org
again), the other one worked good enough.
So, thanks for the person or organization providing the mirror!
As it also points to hydra.gnunet.org I guess it's something
GNUnet e.V. related in running the mirror?
