The point of mirrors is to provide an alternate location for the content. This 
does not imply fallback. You can use for quite some OS organizations mirrors of 
their content (Apache, SF,net, ...), however, if you select a mirror and it is 
not available or out of date and your file is not found, you're also not 
automagically redirected to a different one, that is available and in sync.
