The current set of active mirrors can always be found at
http://www.postgresql.org/mirrors.xml, so you can build URLs on the
mirror network using the protocol, host, port and path from the mirror
list, and then the relative path for the file.
Or you can hit it off the mirror redirector on the website, which will
then give you automatic download tracking.
Right, but you need the mirror ID for that iirc. Maybe we should add
that to the XML...
That, or implement that "send me to a random mirror" feature. Or
maybe the "send me to a random close mirror if available, or a random
global if not" feature. :-)
Either way, there's definitely room for some improvement there, but
let's figure out what the exact needs are first :-)
well we could fairly trivially do that using DNS as well as in providing
sets of mirrors geographically spread out (like
us.mirrors.postgresql.org, eu.mirrors.postgresql.org) or whatever.
