Hi all,
here's a short explanation regarding the patch:
 
 Stefan Fiedler:
         scripts/Download: reenable '-mirror none' option as a one-time 
override

  The -mirror none option is most useful when downloads are not available on 
mirrors yet (e.g. when testing updates from submaster) and your autodetected 
mirror returns a small html file instead. Download will assume a checksum 
error and not try to download from original sites.
With this patch, the '-mirror none' option acts as a one-time override and 
does not change the content of download/Mirror. So only if you want to use 
original download locations permanently you will have to 'echo none > 
download/Mirror'.
Best mirror autodetection will be started if no download/Mirror file exists 
and no -mirror option is given.
An empty download/Mirror file or an empty string passed along with the -mirror 
option will trigger best mirror autodetection. Without the patch these two 
would cause scripts/Download  to use original download locations.

Greetings,
	Stefan Fiedler
