I think probably the first stopgap that i'd apply would be to comment out the line that parses the "nomirror" option. If its used to keep files from being pushed onto the rotation servers, great... but its an annoyance within my network. Then i'd see about making my own server the first in the list of sourceforge mirrors, followed by a mirror that i know works better for me. Perhaps the mirrorselect tool could automatically check for good sf.net servers too. For that matter, I'd quite like to see a fill-in-the-blank line plus the ability to choose the order from within mirrorselect... perhaps even a order of preference that round-robins equally weighted servers.
