Hey folks, Dayjob occasionally deploys boxes (local anycast root DNS servers) into places with weird and limited connectivity, where routing and geolocation isn't always a reliable metric. There's "fastest-pkg" in ports, but it's in python which means...you have to be able to fetch packages to use it. I made a shell variant. It would be cool if it could be baseified! https://github.com/thegushi/fastest-pkg.sh -Dan
