There is a retry mechanism in the FileReader. Its initialized in the 
constructor.

       connectionRetryCount = 
RepositoryPreferences.getConnectionRetryCount();
       connectionRetryDelay = 
RepositoryPreferences.getConnectionMsRetryDelay();

what are those values set to by default? The Buckminster predecessor of 
the FileReader use a retry count of 3 and it works reasonably well.

No, I don't think it's a bad mirror either. It's just good old 
build.eclipse.org being very busy or something.
