[TYPO3-english] Only one mirror left for main extension repository?

[Daniel Neugebauer]

Hi!

Okay, so it's not a bug, it's a feature. ;)

I was just a bit surprised to see all mirrors gone, guess others may be 
wondering as well.

Just to be sure: I only checked that setting yesterday because the 
default "random"-entry caused some downloads to fail. It appeared like 
our installation was still trying to download from deleted mirrors (TU 
Clausthal AFAIR) which were completely unresponsive. I guess you may 
have been using round-robin DNS entries? If that's the case, was it just 
caching on our side or could there still be old records left over from 
before mirror removal? Were all former mirrors already shut down or 
should they still be replying to queries?

Since there's already an announcement in preparation, maybe I just 
happened to run into this at a bad moment (a bit too early).

Thanks again,
Daniel
