Does the evidence available infivsyr that it's the mirrors that are

The problem is when a given set of mirrors are not available for a
particular requester, eventually you completely run out of mirrors and
no updates happen at all. There should be fall backs to prevent this...

linux distributions doing that for decades
and they have way larger metadata
that's exactly because they have way larger metadata. If their metadata was
as big as Clamav's, they'd use DNS too.
