I've looked at the mirrors - all the ones he says are broken have a patch dir in the core.db.tar.gz file - I'm not sure what else to look for here.
I didn't see any problems with the unixheads mirror. The .db.tar.gz has patch in it, and the patch package downloads fine manually. *shrug* nethat appears to be non-working anymore (requires password), but it may be temporary. Some mirrors do that when they are adding drives or some such (to reduce io load during a raid mirror). If it still fails in a day or two (requires password), then we should probably remove it as a mirror.
