So basically a "no_time" status for a mirror means timeout (300 sec) or 404 error. The mirror statusfile is fetchable in mirmon state file format, format documented in mirmon homepage. http://iso.ego.fi/php_mirrors/state.txt http://www.cs.uu.nl/people/henkp/mirmon/src/mirmon.html#STATE%20FILE%20FORMAT -- Toni Viemerö | http://selfdestruct.net "Anywhere you hang yourself is home."
