Thanks. The current code looks pretty good to me for going into 
production. There is only one minor thing I would like to see on the 
index pages: the number of packages and the version number of pypimirror 
used for generating the index pages.

I think it is time to bring the project somehow into production. Things 
we should address:

 - all public mirror should run the same software version and use the
   same pypimirror.cfg (except for local settings)
 - all public mirrors should update their server several times day
   (e.g. mine runs every six hours)
 - all public mirrors should be documented on the openplans wiki with
   hostname+ip, maintainer of server (Name + Email)
 - openplans must be updated in order to reflect the configuration 
settings that are necessary for using the infrastructure with zc.buildout
 - DNS setup for "hiding" all mirrors behind a canonical name. I agree
   with Volker that this is not a perfect solution but we have no other
   choice right now since a mirror-selection algorithm belong into
   setuptools or zc.buildout. We will approach this for phase 2
   of the project.

Thoughts?
