  Now I wonder how many stale mirrors are in the SITES file. I have been tracking the number of hosts for a bit, and occasionally posting the results on Perl At a Glance [theperlreview.com]. The numbers do not mean much if a lot of bad entries are in there.
  
  I suppose I should start pinging all of the sites and tracking unreachable ones too. I should have that sort of code lying around somewhere. :)

    mirrors.cpan.org [cpan.org] has lots of great information -- I especially like the mirror frequency and approximate bandwidth.

      You might have also noticed http://mirror.cpan.org/status.cgi [cpan.org] which is the result of 2 machines on 2 continents running the same script to check the freshness and speed.

        ...run for times a day. The continents being
        Europe as seen from the CPAN master site in Finland and North America as seen from California.
