You know, if this is true, you should probably report this as a bug.
Mirrors are supposed to be mirrors ie. they should carry the unstable
source as well. You're in Poland, right? Can you tell me what mirror you
were trying to use, and where you got the name from? The US mirrors
probably have enough load on them already.
