Reading the documentation for mirmon, it also looks like it can output
a machine readable state file. It would be really useful if this was
published on the r-help page as then we could construct tools to
automatically recommend mirrors based on average age and download
speed.

Hi all,
What's the procedure for removing out of date cran mirrors? I've just
discovered the fantastic http://cran.r-project.org/mirmon_report.html,
but there 4 mirrors that have not been updated in over a month, and
quite a few others that have a chequered past. Given that there are
many additional mirrors available, and the poor user experience if a
bad mirror is selected, perhaps these poorly functioning mirrors could
be removed from the list?
Fritz does that from time to time. Note that this is always rather
cumbersome: trying to contact maintainers whose addresses do not exist
any more and so on.
Best,
Uwe
