It is kind of expected, besides the main MirrorCache instance - those mirrors are on regional Oceania (mirrorcache-au.o.o) and Japan (mirrorcache-jp.o.o) instances.
(And regional instances have different logic for score calculation, because they don't have the actual files).
I need to understand how to represent it less confusing.

I think most people would disagree :-)

Who cares? Surely is is a design issue.

Apologies for the stinging sarcasm, but maybe it would have been better to understand the situation BEFORE you deployed in production.

This allows to shut down mirrorbrain scanners and archive its DB. It is waste of resources to have both systems running.
Plus made report much more useful for troubleshooting, at least for those who do it.
I had to do some shortcuts like this cosmetic issue and e.g. not having support for AS numbers and I think it worth it.

While you are at it, I have just noticed you have also omitted the name of the mirror sponsors? I don't think we actually promise to publish it, but it is (or used to be) part of the mirror registration, precisely so we could show the world who have volunteered their help.

There are currently 4 sections named "Oceania", two contains au and nz, one contains jp, and one contains ca and us.
Seriously, this is just ridiculous.

In the meantime, I see that this was partially fixed, except the styling of column with the mirror sponsor needs some work. Currently, that column takes up about half the page :-) (due to some very long names, e.g. Federal University of ParanĂ¡, Center for Scientific Computing and Free Software (C3SL)). I would suggest it ought to revert to the previous format - folded and/or truncated.

Second, it seems that a lot of mirror sponsor names are not shown??
Third, some mirrors are listed twice, e.g. opensuse.c3sl.ufpr.br, once with and once without sponsor listed.
