Automatic mirror selection should select a new mirror if HTTP 403 Error is found, and never cancel the process

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Configure Eclipse to automatically select mirrors
2. Update existing software using help -> Software Updates -> ..
3. Watch error message saying that mirror http://download.actuatechina.com/eclipse/tools/pdt/updates/ returns http error 403


More information:
I could not finish updating Eclipse because one Eclipse mirror was giving "HTTP Error 403, Forbiden"
I checked using open proxies and is not my conection error.

It would be nice if Eclipse just select a new mirror or ask for a new mirror instead of canceling the long and time consuming procedure of Updating Eclipse.

Denis, should this site really be in the list of mirrors if it gives a 403?
Comment 2 Denis Roy CLA 2007-04-13 08:39:15 EDT 
I've contacted the site admin to fix this. I can't just yank the mirror, because most of their files are okay, and we really need all the mirrors in China that we can get  :)

FWIW, I think this is a dupe of bug 145235.

Comment 3 Oliver Schulze L. CLA 2007-04-13 11:24:36 EDT 
Can be marked as duplicate, but the difference is that I ask for:
"use another mirror if one fails"
and bug #145235 ask for:
"don't cancel the update and also use parallel download"

But I'm ok to mark this bug as duplicate.
