That should be great..but I was talking about _manual_ downloads, not
anaconda or yum.
For example when someone wants to download the .iso files et al.
Won't this be more easier than traversing the list?
The graphical map would be cool but I think the "2 clicks to live CD"
feature we'll be implementing soon is more useful:

This will direct users to a geo close mirror without them having to
figure it out, using GeoIP.
