+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt; So my real question is: couldn't the $MIRRORLIST fallback to other

+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> would solve all that....
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>

+</I>&gt;<i> Cool. :-)
+</I>
+Yes, extremely cool! :) This is one of my favourite bugs of all times.
+Remember, this bug is older than Mageia itself! The ability of urpm to
+switch mirrors in case of a not responding or not up-to-date mirror
+was requested in Mandriva almost right after $MIRRORDIR was
+implemented (3-4 years ago?).
+
+Hopefully somebody with the necessary knowledge could find the time to
+implement the solution discussed here and assigned to webteam 5 months
+ago.
