From a users' standpoint, do you think the users are looking for a mirror or for software? Maybe put the download first, then a selection of mirrors. I haven't done a lot of downloading, so my perspective might be a little off. And advantage of the mirror > download order would be if people are downloading more than one item at a time. Then they wouldn't have to go back to choose another download. However, once they choose the mirror (and commence the download) a page could come up offering the option to download more from this mirror. Just some thoughts. Michael
