The installer will only attempt to contact the mirror, and never fall back to the original site. However, if a mirror wishes to implement a 404 fallback, the installer is fully capable of processing a redirect.
I suggest we make it mandatory to implement such a fallback. Shouldn't be too hard and the benefit is obvious IMO. - Martin
