RE: [AUH][PATCH v2 9/9] upgrade-helper.py: Limit number of requests to remote servers

Hi,

I was experimenting to run it with an early version if scarthgap and GNU_MIRROR was not corrected.

-GNU_MIRROR = "https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu"
+GNU_MIRROR = "https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gnu"

We can probably drop it, just wanted to be a bit more gentle against upstream servers. I'll remove it from v3
