suggestion/feature request: some help to pick a mirror for setup.exe

2013-01-10 Thread Roger Pack 
it might be interesting/useful to have the list of "mirrors" ordered
somehow, it is a bit bewildering (at least for this user) to get this
large list of mirros to "unfamiliar" mirror sites and I think
"ok...so...which one should I pick here?"
So maybe if it could ping all of them and order by that, or anything
else like that.
A suggestion to make it more understandable, the install process.
Thanks!
