<PRE>Ahmad Samir a &#233;crit :
&gt;<i> IMHO, the mirrorlist in its current status should be dropped
</I>&gt;<i> altogether... it's only good if the user has good mirrors near where
</I>&gt;<i> he lives, otherwise it just fails miserably. The whole point of using
</I>&gt;<i> a mirrorlist was that &quot;urpmi will switch to another mirror if the
</I>&gt;<i> currently used one fails / can't be reached&quot;, that switch doesn't
</I>&gt;<i> happen, (&quot;md5sum mismatch&quot; rings a bell?).
</I>&gt;<i>    
</I>I see that a lot.

&gt;<i> At least with the specific media mirrors the user can, more easily,
</I>&gt;<i> guess that he can use add another mirror, with mirrorlist most new
</I>&gt;<i> users are left clueless.
</I>&gt;<i>    
</I>
I agree.  The mirrorlist always connects me to a flaky mirror because it 
is geographically the closest, whereas there are several very good 
mirrors not much further away.
(Always up to date, and much faster)
A system to select mirrors like sourceforge would be much better.  I 
would just have to set it once to one of the good mirrors.
