 Replying to [comment:27 ryandesign]:
 > If there are servers with slow download speeds but also low ping times
 such that MacPorts picks those servers instead of other servers that have
 faster download speeds, then that would be more relevant. It could be
 caused by a problem with that server or with the network connections
 between you and them. But there's not much we can do about that either. If
 there is a server that is delivering poor performance for everybody and
 the server administrators cannot resolve it then we could remove it from
 the list.

 Yes, that'd be great. All I did now (in the PR) was, except updating the
 mirrors by official lists, if there was one… Checking for http-status.
 When not ok - I visited all manually just to see if they're were alive or
 not. It took some time, but I belive it was worth it. For cpan, I removed
 a few that looked “bad/unstable” in their status page. Else than that -
 it's just an updated list …including the removal of the old php mirrors
 (as discussed in #60558).
