[tex-live] ctan.binkerton.com download problem

In TeX Live Utility, I download update-tlmgr-latest.sh for infrastructure
updates. A user just reported getting an error where TLU downloaded an HTML
page instead of a shell script. I'm not sure which mirror he used, but
mirror.ctan.org just sent me to the binkerton.com mirror, which isn't
allowing a direct download of update-tlmgr-latest.sh.
Opening this in a browser or downloading with curl will give some PHP
wrapper around the script:
http://ctan.binkerton.com/systems/texlive/tlnet/update-tlmgr-latest.sh
It's happened before with this mirror, so I'd like to blacklist it in TLU.
However, if the user's default repo is mirror.ctan.org and it hands back
ctan.binkerton.com, I'm not sure what I can do. Any ideas?
(that mirror is also giving similar behavior but 404 errors for .pl files,
which I suspect could cause problems for tlmgr as well?)
thanks,
Adam
