I think that another option is to put the mirrors in the script 
used by TravisCI.
When it fails there are retries. Instead it could try the 
mirrors. Retrying on the same server is almost a promise of 
failure. code.dlang.org might be done for an hour or so (99% of 
the time the offline duration is of this order *) because of some 
maintenance or whatever. It's a complete luck if between two 
retries the server goes online again.

it's just a matter of minutes
