check fastest mirror

[Steven Michalske]

So we need to use wget to pick a 1MB file off of that mirror,
and download it.  after we pick a file we then download that same  
file from all the other mirrors.
save the times and pick the lowest.

now we can specify the file manually or we can have it auto magically  
selected.

This should be written as a fast_mirror_plugin,  that ranks the  
mirrors from your location.
