Bug Description

When using mirrors.ubuntu.com with the mirror protocol we need to filter out mirrors that lack behind.

I got
  http://ftp.uni-bayreuth.de/linux/ubuntu/ubuntu/
from http://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt

The problem with that mirror is that its not updated since Jan:
$ w3m -dump http://ftp.uni-bayreuth.de/linux/ubuntu/ubuntu/dists/natty/Release|grep Date
Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2011 13:16:20 UTC

Compared to:
$ w3m -dump http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/Release|grep Date
Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2011 12:16:50 UTC

The mirror prober should remove outdated mirros from the set offered via mirrors.ubuntu.com

Just as a additional note, we will discuss making the mirror method enabled by default during the next UDS.
