what's the problem with using the mirror at universität erlangen?
ftp.mozilla.org goes to one of the mirrors listed on
http://www.mozilla.org/mirrors.html, chosen randomly...

hm, actually, it sounds like I'm wrong. mirrors.html says:
"Note: when you connect to ftp.mozilla.org, you are connecting to one of the
United States mirrors."

but one of the ftp.mozilla.org IPs does currently point to universität erlangen...

mirrors.html is wrong, ftp.mozilla.org now points at all of the primaries,
regardless of location.  We need to fix the web page.

And yes, the nightly builds on the universität erlangen site are just as valid
as any of the others.  It's the same FTP tree.

morphing bug ...

text below the primary US servers should move below all the primary servers,
text should change to something like 

"Note: when you connect to ftp.mozilla.org, you are connecting to one of the
primary mirrors."
