QuickestMirror lets you quickly and easily access data replicated
("mirrored") on several Internet servers such as the popular Info-Mac
mirrors.

To solve the problem, I devised a new URL scheme that maps a single URL to
a list of URLs.

For more info, check out the QuickestMirror web page:

Also, TidBITS published my article about QuickestMirror:


QuickestMirror requires:
System 7 or later;
InternetConfig (possibly 1.1 or later, 1.4 or later recommended);
a 68020 processor or better (it runs native on PowerPC-based Macs).

It requires Open Transport 1.1.1 or later to assess network performance;
MacTCP users will still be able to pick a server at random, which is better
than a fixed selection.

New since 1.0.1:
* Supports Vremya by Kirill Levchenko

The Vremya application can set your Macintosh system clock accurately.
QuickestMirror stores a list of public Network Time servers
via an experimental "x-ntp" URL notation.
* Added Anarchie-like ratings to the About box.
* Improved scripting support, especially with regard to UserLand Frontier.
DocServer help text is now included!
* Fixed several URLs in the archive.
* Updated the docs.
