hmm, they list that as a "backup site" and ask "Please only use the
backup mirrors to download KEYS, PGP signatures and hashes (SHA* etc) --
or if no other mirrors are working" .. maybe we should pick some other
well-connected mirror to list first and move that one down a bit in
the list?

mirror.reverse.net no longer carries apache, that should be removed,
maybe replace with https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/apache/ ?

http://apache.belnet.be/ can be switched to https

Maybe use dotsrc or mirrorservice as the first entry, they are both
pretty fast..
