+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> IMHO, the mirrorlist in its current status should be dropped
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> altogether... it's only good if the user has good mirrors near where
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> he lives, otherwise it just fails miserably. The whole point of using
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> a mirrorlist was that &quot;urpmi will switch to another mirror if the
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> currently used one fails / can't be reached&quot;, that switch doesn't
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> happen, (&quot;md5sum mismatch&quot; rings a bell?).
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Although I am a friend of SmartUrpmi and EasyUrpmi I do understand the
+</I>&gt;<i> easy way the mirrorlist system provides, especially for new users. The
+</I>&gt;<i> failure of this system due to failing mirrors was already discussed at
+</I>&gt;<i> Mandriva and there is a bug in MDv bugzilla about it - still open.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> But even if this bug could be fixed, the option for mirror maintainers
+</I>&gt;<i> to exclude parts of the official mirror structure puts the mirrorlist
+</I>&gt;<i> system in jeopardy, unless we have 2 mirrorlists, one with and one
+</I>&gt;<i> without &quot;problematic&quot; software and let the user select one or the
+</I>&gt;<i> other before he sets up his media.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>
+This is actually an option I thought of...
+
+Providing two mirror list, one list with &quot;free&quot; mirrors and one with
+&quot;full&quot; mirrors.
