+Yes, may be.
+To change the mirror you can also use a dedicated mirror. Go to the
+media manager and remove all entries. Then open (I will use the German
+menue expressions now) "Datei -> Einen bestimmten Speigelserver
+hinzufügen" - "Vollständiger Quellensatz".
+This will give you a list with mirrors in geographical order, you may
+select a German mirror like ftp.mandrivauser.de which syncs every 2
+hours with distrib-coffee.
