o conf urllist unshift http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/CPAN/
o conf commit

That's a mirror right here in Oregon.

Otherwise, simply hitting Ctrl-c will cause CPAN to stop downloading and try
another mirror in your list... or try another download method.  I can't
remember which it does first.  Anyhow, that'll cause ftp.perl.org to cycle its
mirrors.
