I will think about a simple solution to this. Yes you are right that speed is a factor not used in mirror decision. A very simple solution would be to disable mirror handling. Then JD will only use position/priority for candidate selection. Another possible solution would be to use priority as well for mirrors. then you could create packagizer rule to increase priority of your preferred host and jd will respect your choice in priority too. Or maybe add another settings tab where you can add hoster names and sort them to wished hoster list.
