I wouldn't make any assumptions about the current mirror
infrastructure. What you write above does not reflect how things work
here. The ASF is a pretty large collection of projects with some very
large numbers behind it.
I've looked at this both pages:
http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi
http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi
When comparing it with the one from the current OOo project you should
be able to see big differences:
- too many links
- too much data on one page
- too much information to read to get an overview
- too less clear structure
Please keep in mind that we have to deal with end-users. Maybe there are
a lot of power-users but even they prefer a simple and straight
solution. ;-)
I have to agree with Marcus on this. It has to be simple.
