Matt,<br><br>I don't really see any problems with having the complete list of all the mirrors. I usually use the quick find feature in my browser(Ctr F) and that let's me jump directly to the first mirror when I type "US". I suppose you could make the page dynamic and return results when a user indicates a country of origin, but wouldn't this use up more of our scarce computing resources? Just my opinion but I wouldn't worry too much about making /publiclist dynamic. Actually, now that I think about it. Could we not code something to do this for the user in a client side script?
