Of course, as I said, I'd be happy if such additional 3rd party applications would not be necessary. I've also listed the requirements: : - a filter option to select only mirrors with tainted repos for those who want to use them (a MUST HAVE) - urpmi/rpmdrake being able to check the selected mirror for availability and uptodate status before using the mirror (a MUST HAVE) - ability of urpmi/rpmdrake to switch to another mirror if the availability and/or uptodate status is not given (a MUST HAVE) - option to switch the mirror during a session if connection speed is too slow (compared to other known mirrors) (a NICE TO HAVE) -- wobo
