I'm using ganymede but I can't find the option to change mirror for the update sites. Is there a way to change this?
A:
If i am not mistaken, in "Help->Software Updates" you can manage all the eclipse repositories...

I suppose you could set it to a mirror, but this doesn't bring up the Eclipse mirror dialogue

A:
Just uncheck "select mirrors automatically" and it will prompt you for mirrors next time.

A:
The all notion of mirrors is no more a first class citizen of eclipse Ganymede update mechanism, but rather a simple property of a repositories (for metadata or artifact).
You may still force a mirror for a given feature, with a command-line similar to the one mentioned in this bug.
eclipsec -verbose -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.metadata.repository.mirrorApplication
-source http://www.someurl.com/ -destination file:x:/local/path/to/mirror
(not tested though)
