It looks like there might be an issue with the mirrors. There hasn't
been a push to the mirrors for around 10 days or so. That was
rectified in the last day or two but then there looked to be an issue
with the mirror system. I was having the same problem this morning but
my local mirror seems to have begun working in the last hour or two so
maybe its been rectified.
