I don't know how they do it, but the MySQL download area also has automated mirror selection that seems to work pretty well for me. Are we interested enough for me to ask how they do it?

Would be quite academic to drop in something like GeoIP and use that as a refrence tool. For anyone interested : http://www.maxmind.com/app/geoip_country

Running / checking the mirror list for update status every 6 hours could be built into the central server, mirror handout should be done on the fly from there. And a setup like mirror.centos.org is redundant enough to not have issues with 1 or even 2 of the machines being down at a given time.
