That particular mirror can be a false negative. There is a known network issue 
impeding us updating our reflection of that mirror's content -- but I have no 
time to debug it right now. So we not necessarily redirect to this mirror, for 
newly published files. But the mirror pulls files regularly. When you checked, 
the RC1 files were not published yet, though. So this mirror could not have the 
files.

I should point out that the initial, early "seeding mirrors" phase is usually 
not visible to the public -- since we tend to distribute files at first in 
directories that are not publicly visible, making the public later. So what you 
see from the outside doesn't necessarily reflect what's going on behind the 
scene.

Are there other things that you want to find out about? What matters to you?

Please refrain from creating static, manually maintained lists of mirrors -- we 
can easily create them automatically, as has been pointed out elsewhere in this 
thread. It's just that someone, probably me, has to find the time to set this 
up. Okay, I took some minutes now to arrange for this page, updated every 30 
minutes: http://download.documentfoundation.org/mirrors/all.html
Unfortunately, I lack the time to take care of header and footer at the moment. 
Suggestions/(X)HTML are always welcome of course. MirMon (for which there is 
integration) can be set up also, later.

I don't mind, however it is usually best to contact, in case of problems, the 
admins of the respective mirror network. They are the only ones who can do 
something about problems. In the case of TDF, that's ftp at 
documentfoundation.org, or alternatively, this mailing list (for issues that 
are of concern not only to the admins, but also to other mirrors, and warrant 
the list noise). 

So I would suggest to list the ftp@ address as contact point. I don't really 
want valuable feedback & problem reports to end up in my private mailbox, 
without anyone else able to participate.
