mirrors.fp.o now supports metalinks [1]. metalinks are XML documents that act like a yum mirrorlist, but with more detail, allowing client download tools to more easily select a mirror that will be fastest for them. Just as you have the BitTorrent, Direct Download, and Jigdo columns now, I'd like to consider adding a Metalink column. It's easy to get the metalink URL for a given download.fp.o ISO URL. http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/test/10-Beta/Fedora/i386/iso/Fedora-10-Beta-i386-DVD.iso becomes http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?path=pub/fedora/linux/releases/test/10-Beta/Fedora/i386/iso/Fedora-10-Beta-i386-DVD.iso (e.g. s:download:mirrors:, s:pub(.*):metalink?path=pub$1: ) Let me know if you have any questions. If you wanted to add them to the 10-Beta download page now, that'd be fine with me too. Thanks, Matt Fedora Mirror Wrangler.
