If you take a close look at the mirrors.html page, you'll see that the
list is polled on a regular basis to maintain currency.  If there are
out-of-date sites, that would indicate that there was a problem with the
polling, which, in fact, there was.  A perl module update apparently
broke checking of http mirrors.  This has been corrected.

So thanks for the roundabout heads up on the problem but you could have
saved yourself some work by just reporting the problem.

I've changed the wording on the web site to be slightly clearer that
this page is autogenerated.
