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.
Which is why I mentioned:

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