Thank you for the report.

-O has been fixed similar to what you suggested, but at a different place.

The sorting of metalink mirrors by priority is fixed.
The .meta4 file should contain the relevant mirrors for you with highest 
priority (low number = high priority). You got mirrors in `gb`, here from 
Germany I get top mirrors in `de`.
So that should "automagically" work for everyone in the world (the magic is 
done on the server side by sniffing your country).

I pushed the fixes to master.

There is one corner case, that I ignored so far: `-O-` just doesn't work with 
metalink. Ideally, with that option, metalink should be turned off 
automatically. But as long as nobody complains, I leave it as is :smile: 

In general, metalink is rarely seen in the wild. E.g. curl removed metalink 
support for this reason.
We *could* do parallel connects and requests for each chunk (needs some changes 
in code), but currently, I won't put too much time into it (time is a sparse 
resource for me).
