- You can switch mirrors on the fly with the GUI autoupdater.
- If the autoupdater hits a problem (404, no permissions, etc), it will 
try the next mirror in the list.
- You can download the patch from any mirror you prefer (or hand it off 
via sneakernet, if you like), and apply it yourself. The autoupdater 
just manages the grabbing of the patch, but you can download/run it 
yourself if you like.
