But I see one disadvantage... when a mirror in a country is not doing so well (speed, or blackouts) you are forced to use that mirror if you decide it automatically... and what if I want to use the 2nd mirror in a country for example? I think there should be a way to override the automatic mirror selection to prevent these problems.
