Re-adding infra, as I believe there might be a more global issue here. for example, when I visit http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi and select any particular mirror and then click "Change", the mirror I selected is represented into the URL of the fetched page (in the Preferred= CGI query param), but the mirror I selected is *not* the one chosen as the preferred one. -- C.
