And actually, in my example above, the mirror didn't have openoffice-fr, but it did have hunspell. And there were probably many other packages available from it, it's just that the syncing wasn't fully done yet.
Though, there is also the case where the mirror is totally unavailable, and you want to download/install many packages. But in this case, the current behavior still works, it just will just be slower and print a lot of warnings. With the single mirror list file, it's also easy to temporarily disable that dead mirror by commenting it.
Yeah this is what I was saying. It... "works" but it's a little slow. I guess, in actuality, it's not a huge problem, and may actually be advantageous for a download of 20 packages where only 1 is missing on the super-fast mirror. So Nagy is probably right that the existing behavior (with the "continue") is better if we assume a sorted mirror list
