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

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