It didn't occur to me, but I'm not sure that parsing that text file is going to be easier than parsing the HTML page and, in the end, it might still be brittle since the format (spacing, column ordering, etc.) might change in the future. The best alternative would be to have a machine-parseable (i.e. XML file) with all the mirrors information. In any case, if you can work on a patch for it I could take a look :) Regards Javier
