Yeah, makes sense.  :)

two things: 

1. If you use the mirrormanager metalink, we can control what servers it
'prefers' to give you. ie, we could have added the close mirror in and
it would have worked transparently, then when it failed and we removed
it, it would have just given others. 

2. We do have also download-rdu01.fedoraproject.org pretty 'near' there
too. So, if you need a close mirror that might work (but do test!).
