Finding the fastest mirror
After you install Alpine, you may be wondering how do I figure out the fastest mirror again?

wget -q -O /tmp/MIRRORS.txt http://rsync.alpinelinux.org/alpine/MIRRORS.txt
L=$(cat /tmp/MIRRORS.txt)
data=""
for s in $L; do
t=$(time -f "%E" wget -q $s/MIRRORS.txt -O /tmp/MIRRORS.txt 2>&1)
echo "$s was $t"
data="$data$t $s\n"
done
echo "===RESULTS==="
echo -e $data | sort
