Two differences: Mirrors are sticky (so I get redirected to the same
mirror when I request another file within 30 minutes) and the redirector
checks if files are on a mirror *before* it redirects to the mirror
(does it really do that or do I have some conceptual misunderstanding
there?)

a) can be resolved by using the fastestmirror plugin. 
b) seems to result in some more load on the mirrors.

Cheers,

Ralph
