One thing that I'd like is "round-robin source groups". Right now, and this is specially true for FTP mirrors, if urpmi tries to get a package and the FTP/WWW server is full, it will fail. When that happens, you either have to wait until there are some connections available on the FTP server (which can take hours), or install a new source (and possibly face the same problem, that server might be crowded too). Having multiple servers in a group, and doing a fallback to a random server in the list whenever a server is unavailable would make things more robust. It should also fix the problem when a Cooker mirror is slow to synchronize, if the RPM is not found, it would try another mirror that would possibly have the package. We could improve this by having a "minimum download speed" option, where if our usual mirror is really slow, it would try to find a faster one. What do you think? Jean-Michel
