   No, it is not a roundrobin.   
      
   It is an algorithm that tries to geolocate you and give you mirrors near   
   to your geographically location, if they exist. This is known to fail   
   for some people, but you can report it.   
      
   And it has been changed recently to a new system that I can not   
   describe, still early days. So, if you have problems, report them.

   That's fine.
