QuickestMirror 1.0 - makes downloading easier and faster. QuickestMirror lets you quickly and easily access data replicated ("mirrored") on several Internet servers.
To solve the problem, I devised a new URL scheme that maps a single URL to a list of URLs. See http://www.kagi.com/authors/fab/qm.html for more info. QuickestMirror requires: System 7 or later; InternetConfig (possibly 1.1 or later, 1.3 or later recommended); a 68020 processor or better (it runs native on PowerPC-based Macs).
It requires Open Transport 1.1.1 or later to assess network performance; MacTCP users will still be able to pick a server at random, that is better than a fixed selection.
