IMHO, the mirrorlist in its current status should be dropped
altogether... it's only good if the user has good mirrors near where
he lives, otherwise it just fails miserably. The whole point of using
a mirrorlist was that "urpmi will switch to another mirror if the
currently used one fails / can't be reached", that switch doesn't
happen, ("md5sum mismatch" rings a bell?).
I see that a lot.
At least with the specific media mirrors the user can, more easily,
guess that he can use add another mirror, with mirrorlist most new
users are left clueless.
I agree. The mirrorlist always connects me to a flaky mirror because it
is geographically the closest, whereas there are several very good
mirrors not much further away.
(Always up to date, and much faster)
A system to select mirrors like sourceforge would be much better. I
would just have to set it once to one of the good mirrors.
