Hello,

I seem remember 4.7 had an option in /etc/make.conf to prefer
downloading from mirror sites (or sites matching a regex) by default. Is
there anything similar to this available in CURRENT without having to
rearrange (and most likely refuse) bsd.sites.mk?

Hmm.. using a shell script to ping and sort the file after each cvsup
might be sort of cool, but probably more trouble then it's worth. It's
only for those occasional huge distfiles where it really matters
(currently, the 77M games/vegastrike snatched from a PR.)
