Description:
------------
"This means that you don't loose anything, if you go with a local mirror site, but you gain speed."

The word "loose" means something along the lines of "not fitting". I think the word "loose" should be replaced by "lose", being the verb form of "lost".

The first comma in the sentence is redundant -- the sentence reads better without it.

Suggested fix:

"This means that you don't lose anything if you go with a local mirror site, but you gain speed."

Fixed summary, it referred to the wrong page (brain fart). The page this bug relates to is as follows:

http://www.php.net/mirrors.php

While reviewing my submission I came across the following error.

"We would like to advice you to choose a mirror site close to use in your everyday work."

The word "advice" should be "advise". The sentence's meaning is a little unclear. It might be better to mention something about geographical location rather than "close to use in your ... work".

I suggest:

We suggest you to choose a mirror site geographically close to you.

Things are getting a little bit complicated here. I don't want to sound like a nut, but I think the whole paragraph needs re-writing. I'll leave that up to you (unless you'd like me to suggest something).

Website, not documentation bug.

Done all the changes you suggested. The new page will show up on the site and mirror sites in a few minutes (depending on when the sites update themselfs).
