It shuffles (python random.shufle()) each of the lists, then concatenates them, and sends that result to the end user. However, this does not take into account that one mirror has a 45Mbps link, and another a 2Mbps; they would each get chosen "randomly". What I need is a replacement for random.shuffle() that takes a list of tuples: (something, weight). And returns a list of somethings that was generated with a statistical sampling based on weight.

NITH is still syncing the Fedora 9 content as I am writing this. The delay was caused due to the fact that the vacations are on and there is no student in the campus. Cheerio, Debarshi -- "From what we get, we can make a living; what we give, however, makes a life." -- Arthur Ashe
