Using TCP pings would add the need to parse the URL for a different port than the default one of the used protocol. But it sounds like a good solution.
I increased the number of ping workers from 5 to 25. It seems to work ok here on my really slow Internet connection. How many pings can we send at the same time until we get some bad side effects? I am not an expert in networking questions. I think using the top 5 and 2 random mirrors should be sufficient. Using 12 serial download tests really slows you down on small bandwith connections. If you find the time I would gladly apply a patch from you. I don't have to the ressources to work on this feature in the next weeks.
