Hi,
i'm italian too, i'm not an NGI customer but i don't see the point in  
taking any action against them, because i don't think that excluding  
them from the mirrors list would make any difference for the better.

Maybe we could "advice" them to declare clearly that their mirror is  
only for they customers, as it is probably a plus to their customer  
and in this way thay are able to give them a better download  
experience ...

Just my 0,02€
