BTW:

how does tlmgr choose the closest mirror?

I'm in DK

If I run

tlmgr -gui

and choose 'load default repository'

then I end up at utwente.nl

whereas choosing 'load default net repository'

gives me

http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/ctan/

(the same as mirror.ctan.org)

Why this difference?

And how should users know the difference between 'default repository' and 'default net repository'?
