An deeper and not before asked question about setup.exe

["Max Bowsher" <maxb at ukf dot net>]

First, I've read this thread, and others:

In it, it says: This is done to allow fetching from multiple mirrors.

My question is this: _Why_ is it necessary to create mirror-named directories to
allow the downloading from multiple mirrors?
I have no doubt it was done for a reason, but I would very much like to know
that reason.


Thanks,

Max Bowsher.
