Description:   Opened: 2004-10-27 13:57 0000 
Mirrorselect is selecting all mirrors that time out or won't let me connect. 
Is selecting all mirrors that end in *.de, which is half a world away from
Pennsylvania, USA.  I know that I am not having problems just generally
connecting to mirrors from my location because when I manually configure the
mirrors for make.conf, and choose ones that are in the US and by me I get
connections of up 400Kb/s.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. follow the steps to select mirror in the setup instructions.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Gave me invalid mirrors and mirrors that average 30Kb/s.

Expected Results:  
Gave me mirrors that are actually giving good download speeds, not mirrors 
half a world away.  I found mirrors at Notre Dom that give me connections at 
400Kb/s.

Kicking over to johnm, who maintains mirrorselect.

this might be due to a change in the way mirrorselect utilizes wget.
checking...

I have the same issue with mirrorselect.  When mirrorselect is used in deep
mode (-D), the url's that are unable to be resolved, are instantly returned. 
So their time is shorter than the fastest download.  Therefore mirrorselect
selects them as the fastest sites.  I believe that is where the issue is.  I
have the issue in 0.84 and 0.86.

I have just comitted 0.87, this should solve the issue.
the problem was pretty simple. $? returned 0 regardless of whether or not wget returned 0.
this has now been solved and should work fine, any problems please let me know.
