Hi folks,
I maintain a few apps from invisible-island.net (Thomas Dickey) as do others,
and as they now offer a mirror as well as primary archive site, it would be
easier if we could default package downloads to the mirror and fall back to the
primary site.
The attached patch documents and implements invisible-island mirrors as ii
although say invisible could be used instead if something longer was preferred.

Take care. Thanks, Brian Inglis Calgary, Alberta, Canada
