[OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH] scripts/download: add sources CDN as first mirror

[Paul Spooren]

Works fine locally and in my test infrastructure, worst case the CDN ever goes
offline is that it falls back to regular mirrors.

In case you set up your own feeds, the download.pl would still ask the CDN for
your self created package, what could be considered as a privacy leak. Should
this become options or at least disable-able via a option?
