Cupt just passes all network work to Curl library. Khm. I would argue that it's not a Cupt problem and the other side providing round-robin DNS should ensure the equality of files.

Hm, given a reason above, using a static mirror (not "changing" content between calls) should avoid this problem completely, no? -- Eugene V.
