It might be nice if it were SOP (standard operating procedure) for 
maintainers to find multiple mirrors for each package - not just the 
major ones. I did this for my libao pkg, since the main site went 
down at least once that I know of. I suggested to masanori that he 
add the extra ogg mirror to his ogg packages but he did not do so.

The maintainers should be the ones "searching gooogle for mirrors", 
NOT the users! Thats what the mirrors field is for.
