Even if we return more mirrors (which shouldn't be a problem), the
fastest mirror plugin by default does not run each time. So if you
cannot control the configuration of those hosts, that does not really
help you much, although chances are greater that you are winning.

I am sure that a planned migration to a different mirror tool would be
better. But yes, that takes time.
