Once a client has redirected to a certain mirror, it is redirected to the same mirror again on the next request, and not to another randomly chosen one.
Obviously, the server checks for each request if the mirror actually has the file, because otherwise it would send the client into the void. c
Also, not all files can be trusted on the mirrors, some are not redirected at all.
The association mirror id <-> client ip as memorized by the server) times out after a certain time of inactivity (10 minutes I think).
Is the redirector pointing to a mirror once or issuing a http redirect for every request ?
For every request. Thus working on a file basis.
