aguably way too big, even to get stuff to california.
Tried it, same behavior.

And regrettably I think (but am not the expert), that
this is an inheritable property of the socket, so you would
need to restart vlc (or just add another mirror on another port after
changinge  it, or rebuilding vlc to have the right setsock,or perhaps
it has it on the command line)
