Geographic information is nice, but it is still the case that resources
physically down the street may be hundreds of network-miles away.  
Information about network connectivity, if nothing other than which
of the major backbone(s) and any occasional special or regional
networks (e.g. Internet2) the mirror's connected to. 

A "sort for _____ network first" would make a nice addition if you had
that info about a significant number of hosts, too.  I, for instance,
would look for I2 then CWIX before picking a north american mirror at
random.
