If I load this, eg.
http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=core-5&arch=i386 I
get:

# repo = core-5 country = GB arch = i386

I haven't been following the developments of the mirrorlist, but I
have picked up that itis dynamic, depending upon location. I'm in the
UK - so the above seems about right. I'm curious though as to why the
other UK mirrors are never returned (eg. mirrorservice.org.uk and
mirror.ac.uk) ? Is there somewhere we should report unlisted mirrors
to?
