And we shouldn't
be exposing users to the public mirror list? I disagree, especially
during release time people need to figure out which mirrors work
(many of them get overwhelmed) and the public list is kept fairly
accurate because of its checks and when a user gets to a mirror that
is too slow for them, they can take a closer look.
This shouldn't be the primary interface. Users should be able to
select the spin, type of media or installation, arch and region and
get a url to ISO directly. Only if you opt to see the mirror list
should you be shown that. The idea behind that is to not confuse
users with a long list of mirrors and users wouldn't have to know the
mirror structure to figure out the right location either.

In my previous email. Besides, our prefered method is still bittorrent
- not that its our users :(
