Updated; you now get requests.

The existance of directories that are "foreign" to the TDF structure might not be a good check 
maybe, because mirrors frequently have additional directories or files for various reasons, often 
of local nature.

It would be possible though to add a plausibility check whether some file or directory exists on 
all mirrors. Mirrors can be partial and are free to mirror just what they want, but one or several 
such checks could be used to warn about mirrors that don't have known files. Possible. 

I committed a change in MB that makes this possible in an easy way. 

The newly implemented command finds one mirrors to look at:

 mb dirs --missing libreoffice
ftp.kaist.ac.kr

...which is indeed an error. The URLs of the mirror worked in the past, and I'll contact the 
mirror's operators about it.

Thanks for your input!
Peter
