Description Aaron 2005-09-27 12:50:05 UTC

When I run "/usr/sbin/mirrorselect -D -s5 -o" to find the fastest gentoo mirrors
available to me, the string it returns contains multiple copies of the same
mirror.  The list is not always the same, but each time it contains at least one
duplicate entry.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. /usr/sbin/mirrorselect -D -s5 -o
Actual Results:  
* Downloading a list of mirrors... Got 194 mirrors.
* Stripping hosts that only support ipv6... Removed 8 of 194
* Downloading 100k files from each mirror... [156 of 156]

Expected Results:  
Five distinct mirrors, even if the last couple are slow--slow is better than
nothing.
