Comment(by arma):

 As we learned in #6341, if the *mirrors* don't get a consensus the first
 time they try, they also wait way too long to try again. This problem
 exacerbates the client problem, since it raises the chances that clients
 will fail to get something on the first try.

 I believe my patch above doesn't crank down the mirror retry schedule. But
 we should.
