Anyway, please always use "reply all" when replying to mail received
from PHP.net. As you can see, I have also included mirrors@php.net as
a recipient, as there are many people reading this list, and they can
add their thoughts this way to our conversation.

Well, good service would be to have mirrors nearly always up. If a mirror
has serious problems (because bandwidth limitations for example), then
it should be removed. As we have only one rsync server, we cannot increase
the number of mirrors infinitely. You can see on the mirroring.php page,
that we also have a theoretical two mirrors per country limit (which we
tend to exceed in some situations, for large countries, or countries
with a large PHP userbase).
