OOps, this is what I thought would happen. Why "round robin"?
e.g. We mirror all EXT here for clients. So it would be best for
them to get it directly from us. Or I know that a certain mirror
is faster for me, than I wanted to use this one.
Round robins gives problems, you do not want to have...
Look at sourceforge how they do it, you can easily choose your
nearest server, and this helps saving bandwidth best.
