I'm trying to help a friend install Linux via FTP. Yes, he is on
a network. How do I find out what is the nearest Red Hat Mirror
to our location? I live in Toronto, Canada.

See <URL:http://www.redhat.com/mirrors.html> and go, not to the closest, but
to a mirror that's in a timezone that puts it somewhere between midnight and
8:00am at the time you want to use it.

Yes, I've read the mirrors.html file. In most cases you can't
tell where an FTP server is located just by looking at its
address.
