a/btrfs-progs-5.15-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
a/hwdata-0.353-noarch-1.txz: Upgraded.
kde/plasma-wayland-protocols-1.5.0-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
xap/mozilla-firefox-91.3.0esr-x86_64-2.txz: Rebuilt.
Rebuilt with rust-1.54.0, which seems to produce a stable Firefox package.
Looking at this page, it would seem that upstream is probably compiling
the official package with rust-1.54.0:
https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/writing-rust-code/update-policy.html
Normally I'd be inclined to drop back on the version of Rust in the main
tree, but rust-1.56.1 fixes a security issue (one that doesn't affect any
crates used by Firefox), so that doesn't seem to be a good idea.
I's not always the same speed, but uk mirrors are generally mirrored more quickly. For me, in south of France, uk.slackware has my preference for the stability of its speed on the long term.
@marav: 87 MiBps !! which internet provider? I've a fiber internet connection with 1 Gb/s speed.

Same here, Freebox - FTTH 1 Gb/s
The real question is :
Why you only have 7~8 MiBps with a 1 Gb/s fiber connection ?

@marav, I'm connected directly to the box.
And my ethernet controller is:
05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Qualcomm Atheros Killer E2400 Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 10)

anyway, you’re right
slackware.uk is probably the quickest
and provides a very good bandwidth

slackware.uk is on a gigabit connection and doesn't do traffic shaping or giving preference to any sort of user/mirror, so everyone gets the same slice of the pie
I increased the timeout from 5 seconds to 10. This yielded largely identical results. Sites swapped places on the leader board, but the 8 out of 16 URLs that came up empty in the first run also failed on the second run.
So the suspicion is that we have a bunch of broken US mirrors. Clearly, the passage of that hard infrastructure bill in the House is timely. But to do anything useful with this information requires that I repeat the tests periodically, compare the mirror list with the one on https://mirrors.slackware.com/mirrorlist/ and eventually report my findings to the maintainers of those lists. So I guess I'll do that.
