Maybe this is not such a good idea. For example, I tend to modify my
autorpm configuration to point specifically at UK mirror sites to avoid
unnecessary and sometimes painful transatlantic links caused by the
default list of mirror sites.

If anoncvs is a rotary, when updating my working directories, it's pot
luck as to which server I hit.

How about a anoncvs.uk.gnome.org or similar? I don't care if it's a
rotary, as long as their all good UK mirrors.

How about just a list of mirror hostnames/addresses on a webpage, so
people can choose their nearest?

It's not the fall that kills you, it's the landing.
