Any good mirrors for RH or MDK?

Does anyone know of any good mirrors for RH 8 or Mdk 9? The lists on both respective company pages are very bad, many of the links do not work.

I have searched far and wide and have found few mirrors that actually work, and those that do are slow. One that was great earlier today (when I didn't have time to FTP) is now down.

A good trick is to use ncftp as your ftp client... open up a crapload of xterminals and do "ncftp ftp.bla.bla" .... w/ a different mirror in each one. ncftp will try to connect, and if it doesn't, it will retry every 10 seconds or so until it does. eventually you'll get in to one... and probably more

good luck

Thanks for the tip, but I already am using ncftp trying to locate one. I want to find a fast one so that actually I can install via FTP.
