Comment 20 for bug 140458

Steve,

Since it is a bit late in the process, it might be worth considering segregating the URL of Wubi-specific metalinks from the URL for public metalinks. In theory Wubi should work well with standard metalinks, but in case problems arise, that will provide some headroom to tweak the Wubi metalinks without affecting other download managers. Such split might also help with deadlines, since there is probably less time pressure for the public metalinks. To begin with http://www.wubi-installer.org/metalinks/8.04/* could be used as a starting point for the Wubi-specific metalinks (they are very basic, such files use a single mirror for daily ISOs and have no md5 info).
