My plan is to keep this because I just remove the sorting by score. The score will still be used to filter mirrors which have a very high one (currently >100). Such mirrors are either very, very slow or out of date. Using the score (mirror status) just to filter the list should return a list of useable mirrors. Without this option, archweb would return a list that contains all mirrors, even if they are out of date.
Florian,
Django has support for GeoIP. We could use this information and
return different mirror lists based on the ip of the client
accessing the mirror list page. Most likely (but not always) the
servers on the person country are faster than the others.
I was thinking the same regarding the score, keep it for our own
metrics, but not use it for sorting. If we can leverage GeoIP with
it, it would be great. Otherwise, a random list is ok by me, even
though it might not be great for the users.
Cheers,
Giancarlo Razzolini
