Bad mirror - J2ghz - 2014-08-17
Everytime I try to download XBMC, I am redirected to http://ftp.df.lth.se/pub/xbmc/releases/win32/xbmc-13.2-Gotham.exe. But this mirror is not working. (ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT)
I have to go to http://mirrors.xbmc.org/list.html and open some mirror and download it here.
But addons are also downloaded through mirrors and I don't know how to make XBMC use another one.

First time I hear that lth.se is not working. I am interested to know where this person is from, and/or where he is using his xbmc install. (at school/ work/ home?)

You seem to have some pretty bad networking problems between you and one of our fallback mirrors.
apart from that, our system seems to select this mirror instead one closer to you, which is odd.

Any way to change the mirror xbmc will use? or do I have to manually find addons here http://ftp.fau.de/xbmc/addons/gotham/ ?
RE: Bad mirror - User 117171 - 2014-08-18
you can manually add the mirror to the hosts file
http://www.rackspace.com/knowledge_center/article/how-do-i-modify-my-hosts-file
something like
64.90.58.16 mirrors.xbmc.org
