i downloaded a several versions of slackware using wget and i can't seem to find a mirror that has all the files, some have more than others, but still md5sum scrolls though bunches noting it couldn't find them.
Some takes more time than others to mirror all the stuff. If you're not going for current, get ISO images and uncompress them (it will save you time ).
Well in Slackware's page it only shows older versions in Slackware's ftp server, so I guess Slackware people assumes there are not there anymore (in the mirrors).
What I meant, is why don't you get them from the official ftp site instead of mirrors?
I know, it may be slow but it's guaranteed that you've all files.
