I was not answering your point at the time. But yes. Is there a bug
(or a set of these) open about this topic? (because these should be
assigned for Mageia 2 milestone, not before at least).

I think that, having to still manually handle this, most of the time,
is the thing to fix. Easyurpmi was a useful manual solution in its
time for a given context.
Although it is no question to remove the ability to manually handle
this if needed, improving the automatic way is the real issue.
A service that:
- manages a list of mirrors that are up to date for a given set of
files (be it RPMs or ISOs),
- answers a list of best mirrors for a given client location (with
better criterias than just "belongs to the same country") and a given
set of files,
is not so uncommon (had I more time right now, I'd investigate the
server-side of things with MirrorBrain or some equivalent, at least to
improve the accuracy of the list of mirrors returned by the server -
this would be useful for both direct ISOs downloads and
packages/updates downloads).
><i> - a filter option to select only mirrors with tainted repos for those

</I>><i> - urpmi/rpmdrake being able to check the selected mirror for

</I>><i> - ability of urpmi/rpmdrake to switch to another mirror if the

</I>><i> - option to switch the mirror during a session if connection speed is
</I>><i> too slow (compared to other known mirrors) (a NICE TO HAVE)
</I>
If there's not one already, bug entries + a master bug would be nice.
Cheers,
Romain
