Comment(by wildintellect):

 I should clarify our previous conversation on the topic. MirrorBrain does
 not do the mirroring, that would still be left to rsync. What it does do
 is allow us to seamlessly allow for many mirrors. Basically we don't have
 to choose OSL or Telescience, it could be both plus 2-3 more donated
 mirrors around the world but to the end user it's still only 1 url.

 This lets us increase our download capacity, load balance between mirrors,
 selectively redirect things like the Live DVD downloads to specific
 mirrors, ensure integrity of mirrors, and keep logs of all downloads
 traffic even if they get redirected to a mirror.
