From c4fa18b7a2f64f6aa01fb83fc80069b921c45372 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: J Phani Mahesh Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2016 13:20:35 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] mirrors: add downloads.sourceforge.net downloads.sourceforge.net is the official way to download tarballs from SourceForge. However, it is reported as unreliable due to SF's weird load balancing system. This commit gives the official mirror utmost priority, and will use other configured mirrors (which may be temporary) as a fallback only when the official one can't be reached/download fails/hangs.
