Because the mirrors have failed due to an automatic update failing to find a
file -- so I go to the horses mouth manually.

If I leave my boat, carrying my tablet, to get a file, (which had previously
failed to download automatically, trying to sort out which mirrir to use when
I am in starbucks is not much fun when I know the mirrors have already
failed!!
The real question is why do the timings have to be so tight? What is the point
of trying to prevent manual use by such low setting?
