Topic: Statler mirrors?

OK, I just gotta ask - why the need for the Mozilla and multimedia mirrors?  For example, I just replaced the Statler multimedia repo with the Squeeze repo at debian-multimedia.org and received 18 new/uppdated packages, gaining nearly 6MB of free disk space.

Any disadvantage to using the debian-multimedia repo over the Statler one?

Re: Statler mirrors?

I do not see any disadvantages and really do not know the purpose of the #! multimedia repo. I use the Debian multimedia stuff on my Debian Wheezy install.

Re: Statler mirrors?

I noticed in the "U might B a n3rd" thread that Corenom-a-mole has poked his head up recently.  Any comments on why we need has t3h mirrorz, Philip?

EDIT:  Sorry, I've been OD-ing on lolcats lately...

Re: Statler mirrors?

@pvsage, I set-up the repository mirrors for testing and building purposes. They worked pretty well for that, so I thought it might be good to leave them up and use them. At the moment, I am syncing the mirrors manually, but after reading your post, I figure I should probably set-up automatic syncing, maybe once a week. Hmm.
