There is NO way to determine which mirrors are the most up-to-date. Some are quite behind and the two main ones (albeit not very reliable) are usually the most up-to-date.
Unless someone tracks these or rates the mirros in order of performance and recent-ness, it always a hit or miss whether you get a rcent copy downloaded. And it is very depressing to download 2+Gig of data to find out it's old or no good. There should be a better system. I think that with the new relationship between HP and Mandrake, maybe HP could help in this department (ie: donating equipment to improve the mirroring) - call me crazy.
