Re: Test US mirror for bordeaux.guix.gnu.org and slow downloading of sub

[John Kehayias]

Hi Chris,

Thanks for setting up some more mirrors, here is what I just got (in a previous 
run the main Bordeaux server was a bit slower, more like 18 MB/s) on a wired 
connection that maxes out at about 320 Mbps.

A nice speedup! And for good measure, I tried the main substitute server:

I guess I really should put Bordeaux (of any flavor) as what should be tried 
first, since either way it is much faster for me.

And happy to help support these additional mirrors, just point me to where I 
can donate.
