Description
The Repository preflet should offer a "fastest mirror selection" feature allowing user systems to automatically find and select the fastest repository mirrors based on ICMP ping response.
Design considerations:
- Repository preflet should check the official mirror list for the repository in question. One such example mirror list is here:
- https://eu.hpkg.haiku-os.org/haikuports/master/x86_64/current/mirrors.txt
- These mirror lists should be only sourced from central / trusted Haiku infrastructure.
- The format can be adjusted if needed, this was just an example
- Each server's response time should be checked, and the server with the lowest response time should be chosen.
A "fast path" may be adding a "Mirror Selection" button to the Repository preflet spawning a dialog that collects the mirrors, pings each, and orders them via response time. (lowest to highest)

Moving various tickets out of the beta4 milestone because no one is actively working on them.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/17331 is going to be a "important" aspect of this one... however not a requirement since 17331 and this one are big needs for the project.
