It's interesting that you guys need mirrors... I used the in-game auto update feature and even though I'm in the UK, it took only 6 minutes for the .40 to .41, and 27 minutes for .41 to .42. I have 1 mbit cable modem and I doubt any mirror could have been as fast as the auto update.
Of course I got the updates at 3am central time, but since it's a weekend there's no reason to download the updates during the usual aol primetime network congestion timeperiod.
