Mirror fun aka insights requested

[sankarshan]

Ok, so something seems to be not working here.

The list at http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/9/i386/ 
lists IIT-M and NITH

Yet, I don't seem to be falling back on IIT-M if NITH times out, I land 
up with some .jp servers.

For F9

What gives ?

_From fedora-infrastructure _
Mirrormanager works like this:

[quote]
Right now, it collects various lists of Hosts to return (same
netblock, same country, same continent, global). It shuffles (python
random.shufle()) each of
the lists, then concatenates them, and sends that result to the end
user.  However, this does not take into account that one mirror has a
45Mbps link, and another a 2Mbps; they would each get chosen
"randomly".

What I need is a replacement for random.shuffle() that takes a list of
tuples: (something, weight).  And returns a list of somethings that
was generated with a statistical sampling based on weight.

IIT-M has only Fedora 7 and Fedora 8 content at this point. Haven't 
checked the other mirrors.

NITH is still syncing the Fedora 9 content as I am writing this. The
delay was caused due to the fact that the vacations are on and there
is no student in the campus.

Cheerio,
