There are at least 2 problems going on.

1) mirror1 seems to have gone offline today.  The crawler reports:

Starting crawl 2009-12-20T23:00:24.684029
(lots of directories found)
Ending crawl 2009-12-20T23:12:06.287753
Starting crawl 2009-12-21T01:00:08.340106
Host marked not up2date: No host category directories found.  Check
that your Host Category URLs are correct.
Ending crawl 2009-12-21T01:02:56.937084

this is why mirror1 doesn't appear in any lists.

2)  some metalink requests are reporting really bad data. This may
only happen with path= usage, as repo= usage seems to succeed.

$ wget -q -O - 'http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=updates-released-f12&arch=i386&country=global'
| grep atrpms
        <url protocol="http" type="http" location="DE"
preference="16">http://mirror2.atrpms.net/fedora/linux/updates/12/i386/repodata/repomd.xml</url>

So mirror2 shows up as expected here.

But with path= it fails.
]$ wget -q -O -
'http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?path=pub/fedora/linux/releases/11/Fedora/x86_64/os&country=global'
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!--
pub/fedora/linux/releases/11/Fedora/x86_64/os/None not found or has no metalink
-->

I'll consider this second a bug in MM and will investigate, but as
nothing critically relies on metalink?path= that I'm aware of, it'll
probably be after the holidays.

Thanks,
Matt
