The mirror handling *is* implemented in 6.0 em.

As far as I recall, the mirror handling was implemented in a time when 
typo3.org was unstable and offline pretty often, so the main reason was 
not load but stability.

Since typo3.org is very stable nowadays, we could imho drop the whole 
mirror stuff to not face all those issues with synchronisation, 
organising external systems, download counters, timing issues and so on. 
As far as I know the codebase beyond that on typo3.org is also not 
really nice nor maintained.

So, if nobody objects, we could just create a patch for em 6.0 to drop 
all that stuff, what do you think?
