regarding the subject line:
1) download http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/mirrors.lst (I used a
browser - command line utilities for this abound, too: cURL,
libWWW's comline, etc.)
2) perl -ne "print `ping $1` if m|://([^/]+).*North Am|" mirrors.lst
(there are probably gawkish and shellish ways to do this, but I
lean towards perl for one-liners lately. Perhaps my crude
solution will flush out more polished ones.)
regarding the rest, I dunno, I never tried that.
