I'm not a FreeCache developer so I could be wrong but I'm maintaining a FreeCache mirror and I've observed that FreeCache seems to use heurstics based on the frequency of a file being requested though a http://freecache.org/... url. A file that is infrequently requested won't get mirrored. A file that is frequently requested by a group of IPs that are "near" each other will be mirrored at the mirror closest to those IPs. Hope that helps some

Yes. I look like you are correct. I see the same behavior, but still I am not 100% sure.
