Configuring SWARET locations.


Lately when I upgrade my system with SWARET I get alot of packages that have "FAILED". These are the mirrors and repositories I use. Which ones do you guys use that might work better. Thanks
Code:

ROOT=ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/slackware/slackware-$VERSION
ROOT=http://ftp.planetmirror.com/pub/slackware/slackware-$VERSION
ROOT=http://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/ftp/mirror/slackware/slackware-$VERSION
ROOT=ftp://ftp.slackware.no/pub/linux/slackware/slackware-$VERSION
ROOT=http://www.slackware.no/slackware/slackware-$VERSION
ROOT=ftp://ftp.slackware.at/slackware-$VERSION
ROOT=http://www.slackware.at/data/slackware-$VERSION
ROOT=ftp://ftp.planetmirror.com/pub/slackware/slackware-$VERSION
ROOT=rsync://rsync.slackware.no/slackware/slackware-$VERSION

Check here. I cannot remember exactly but I think you need to change where swaret looks for packages.

The defaults work fine for me. I set swaret to use random sites and that seems to do the trick.
