I did get your request. You want to blindly select mirror [n] without
knowing what [n-1] and [n+1] is and without knowing if [n] is even
valid. Or in the case of a string, you want to be able to type in a
ranbdom string pointing to a valid URL without using some for of lookup
tool.
the lookup tool is called `lvu urls $MODULE`
after that you can `lin --url $URL/ $MODULE`
no need to look in DETAILS files.

I'd like to see either or both of these new features being implented:
lunar --mirror int module
... to use a specific mirror out of the module's DETAILS file as long
as there is more than one.
lunar killall (maybe lunar kill )
... to get rid of dead/zombie lunar coretools processes (lin,lget,
wgets started by lget (difficult but helpful)). Make sure you don't
leave any trails behind in /tmp too.

Perhaps allowing a full url path as well.
--mirror http://....... module
that would replace the SOURCE_URL and append the source
so the mirror option may look like
[ --mirror < integer | URL > ]

this is a double-content bug... it should be split up.
* lin --url already exists
* the killall is a design flaw patchup... I'd rather implement traps on
SIGCHLD if that's possible, but I need to figure out how and where.

Actually, you didn't get my request .. I wanted to have an easy ability
to chose from the available mirrors for a module. Not everybody is in
favour of taking a look at the DETAILS file just to copy and paste the
URL and use --url.
Its a minor feature request .. but I think its an improvement
concerning useability.
