There are 2 problems with this:
1.  Frequently, the desktop applet that says updates are available
doesn't end up giving you a server where the updates are present.  Yes,
you can keep re-launching up2date until you get a server that has the
updates, but it's annoying.

2.  The performance downloading from a site in Brazil isn't as good as
downloading from within the United States.  I expect the folks in Brazil
have the same problem with United States sites.
