I don't think that this worth it in real time. We can play with the last-updated date we already collect from the mirrors. We know when a release was out, and if the site was updated since that time, then the file should be there. We also check all mirrors every hour, and remove them after a few days of inactivity / outdatedness. We can distribute the last-updated and last-up dates to the mirrors... But this is pure speculation, and is only interesting if we would like to do some automatic redirection, which we would not ;) First do the first steps, then go on... Goba
