+<PRE>Le dimanche 22 mai 2011 &#224; 05:51 +0200, Wolfgang Bornath a &#233;crit :
+&gt;<i> I haven't used EasyUrpmi, but I used the other (similar) web tool
+</I>&gt;<i> SmartUrpmi regularly.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> My reason was not to add PLF or any other repo (MUD or other). My main
+</I>&gt;<i> reason was my dislike of the %MIRRORLIST system of Mandriva, you could
+</I>&gt;<i> get connected to a very slow mirror or even to one which was not
+</I>&gt;<i> uptodate without urpmi being able to switch to another mirror during
+</I>&gt;<i> one session (a known bug). So I used SmartUrpmi to select a mirror
+</I>&gt;<i> which I knew to be fast, reliable and uptodate instead of playing
+</I>&gt;<i> lottery with %MIRRORLIST.
+</I>
+There is likely stuff to improve with mirrorlist selection indeed ( I
+would add AS number to it, as well as bandwidth, and push a smarter
+system in urpmi one day to get nearer mirros, and add some weight based
+on network related stuff ), but since everybody work around it, no one
+is motivated to improve it or provides information for that. So because
+people able to fix focus on not facing the problem and because there is
+a know workaround, newer users face the problem.
+
+Worst, since people focus on specific mirrors ( d-c being the prime
+example ), the mirror slowly become more and more overloaded with
+requests, forcing admin of using complex scheme to divide the
+ressources.
+
+&gt;<i> Today with Mageia this risk is not high because there are not so many
+</I>&gt;<i> mirrors around my residence. But I still would like to select a
+</I>&gt;<i> dedicated mirror (my own mirror) from such a list as provided by the
+</I>&gt;<i> web tool.
+</I>
+It can already be done.
