You will want to use the mirror selector to help balance the bandwidth
on the servers.  It will select the best mirror for your geographic
location as well as load balance. In /etc/slackpkg/mirrors un-comment

# USE MIRRORS.SLACKWARE.COM (DO NOT USE FTP - ONLY HTTP FINDS A NEARBY
MIRROR)
http://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware/slackware64-14.2/

Have fun,
Ed
