Do we really need an array? Lets see..

* Lets say we have three mirrors X (45 Mb), Y (5Mb), Z (3Mb)

* =>Total bandwidth = 53Mb

* Now lets say, at any given instance there are 100 requests.

* So proportionally, X should get (100/53)*45 = 85 requests.
  Y should get 9 requests and Z, 6 requests only.

Now

1. Generate a random no r.
2. If r<85 route to X,
   else if  85<r<95 route to Y
   else route to Z.

This will do the job.
