Yes, may be.
To change the mirror you can also use a dedicated mirror. Go to the
media manager and remove all entries. Then open (I will use the German
menue expressions now) "Datei -> Einen bestimmten Speigelserver
hinzufügen" - "Vollständiger Quellensatz".
This will give you a list with mirrors in geographical order, you may
select a German mirror like ftp.mandrivauser.de which syncs every 2
hours with distrib-coffee.
