EXT-Mgr: Update from TER fails with no meaningful ERROR, without setting the mirror first;
0%
Description
EXT-Mgr > Connect to the current mirror and retrieve the current list
results in
Warning: file_get_contents(): php_network_getaddresses: gethostbyname failed in D:\apache\htdocs\t3\t340b3\t3lib\class.t3lib_div.php on line 2120
Warning: file_get_contents(http://extensions.xml.gz): failed to open stream: No error in D:\apache\htdocs\t3\t340b3\t3lib\class.t3lib_div.php on line 2120
Error: The extension list could not be fetched from http://extensions.xml.gz
setting username, password and especially selecting a mirror, resolves this;
so
eighter the user should be directed towards setting a respoitory first, or the default repository should come preconfigured ( imho better )

It should select one random mirror, but this was buggy (see #15672).
