The mirrors list is updated twice a day. If there is a package missing
or out-of-date from the mirror, it is dropped from the list. So, there
should not be many problems with out-of-date mirrors.

You do have to specify both test and curr if you want both a test and a
curr version. As soon as you specify any one of curr, test, or prev,
you have to explicitly specify everything.
