+<PRE>Hello,
+
+There was a problem with www.quicklynet.com mirror. See bug 1942 :
+<A HREF="https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1942">https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1942</A>
+
+The problem with this website is that it never returns any 404 error,
+but always returns a page containing a frame, <A HREF="http://190.56.161.66//XXXX">http://190.56.161.66//XXXX</A>
+for page <A HREF="http://www.quicklynet.com/XXXX.">http://www.quicklynet.com/XXXX.</A>
+
+The script to check the mirrors, and update the mirrors database only
+check the return code from wget, so it didn't see the problem with this
+mirror.
+
+To disable this mirror, I set the ip of www.quicklynet.com to 127.0.0.1
+in /etc/hosts on alamut, and in ips table in mirrors database, and ran
+the check_mirror script. I also set &quot;lastcheck&quot; to 1000 days in the
+futur in distributions_validity table, so that it is not checked again.
+
+So I think mga-mirrors should be updated to do this (maybe already
+planned) :
+- have an option to disable a mirror (other than setting an invalid
+ path, as it doesn't work with servers that don't return error for
+ invalid paths)
+- check_mirror script also check content of mageia_timestamp file, and
+ disable mirror when invalid content, or timestamp too old.
+
+</PRE>
