adding several mirrors to repos will mitigate.

I don't mind adding mirrors manually but in theory I shouldn't have to. They are using mirrorcache. It should be trying at least 2 servers to get the data. A mirror server that is "closest" to me and the "main server" if the mirror doesn't have it. I'd like to think it keeps trying mirrors until it finds it but I guess that doesn't happen.

I find the fact that the "main server" appears to also not have the files troubling.
