R help - Jul 2009 - Which CRAN mirror is the fastest ?

Hi dear R help group.

I was wondering how can I find out which CRAN mirror would be the fastest
for me (I leave in Israel and therefore don't have a CRAN mirror for our
country to go to by default)


Thanks,
Tal

Hard to lee, you have to try out, I fear.

The speed you see highly depends on the connection from your country to 
others, but of course, there are also some mirrors that are not the 
fastest themselves.
