I think interaction is only required when the software has no way to make a sane decision based on automated processes. When all mirrors in a set fail it is quite sane to try those in other sets without asking the user, imho.
If any download fails, the user can go to the "next set" of mirrors, for example if they are on preference 3, they will get "Retry using direct fink mirrors" as a choice, if they are on preference 1, they will get "Retry using external source mirrors".
(above, I am not talking about when "all mirrors in a set fail", i'm talking about when ANY mirror in a set fails, one of the options will be "go to next set")
Fink always has user interaction whenever any download fails, unless you pass --yes to fink.
