Well yes, but this is -REALLY- bad the archives should not be so
horrificly desynced this often - and this badly :< A md5 failure is
something I thought would be very rare. A partially desynced mirror would
have files of the wrong size perhaps, but not files with the wrong
contents!

Yes, that is what I am thinking, but it's a bit more convoluted because
you have to recalculate where you are going (I think I already have a
routine that can do this though)
Hm, it might be really simple then.. <ponder>

No, it checks only the first archived mentioned to have the file. Is
there a reason to support secondary archives?
