Jeff , dont tease me please ... now I want to implement this ;)
I'll give it a shot maybe tomorrow (I can leave it running on any 
computer on the university where I study and make it create a file on my 
web page).

I believe that's not necessary to create a dynamic cronjob.. just a 
static one is enough.. maybe if the script checks first locally to see 
if there is any new file , then it starts checking the mirrors, using a 
text file as input....

Well, I'll try to make something today or tomorrow and I'll post when I 
have a prototype working.
