There must be somewhere that the mirrors are getting their master
content from. We don't really want to link to specific mirrors
as that inappropriately directs traffic to just one mirror, defeating
the point of having lots of mirrors. Also mirrors come & go, so we
don't want to depend on one specific mirror continuing to exist.
