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.
