Do I? Maybe. I think that choosing a mirror is in fact choosing a single point of failure. Choosing any single system is a single point of failure. I'm really wondering why that is necessary and why there is not instead either a list of lists or a DNS entry that gets you to a list of lists. I'm not knowledgeable about DNS to know how *that* would work, but it must as, 'fer instance, I notice that doing something like "ping google.com" gets different addresses at different times. jdd wrote:

in the same sentence, you contredict yourself...
if you don't want to bother with mirrors, there must be a single entry point
problem is this point should be unbreakable (server with a backup)
(your other points are already known - badly)
