"tlmgr" doesn't show me any information about the real server. If I put
the URL
http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/2008
in my web browser I see
http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/ctan/systems/texlive/tlnet/2008/
A next try with this server has the same problematic result
tlmgr --location \
http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/ctan/systems/texlive/tlnet/2008 update \
--all -v

Doesn't work the mirroring? Should I avoid "mirror.ctan.org" in the future?
