There is a partial solution in place currently, though it's un-
publicized. If instead of POSTing to http://www.ubuntu.com/start-
download you make a GET request to it then it will bounce you to a
mirror near you. At that point you can choose a distro and a CD image to
download.

It would be possible on the form page to display a link based on the
user's form choice that links directly to the image they want. There is
already some javascript that can be used as a reference. See the
"log_download()" function on that page. The redirect code would need to
be made smart enough to redirect to the proper path. Right now it simply
redirects to the mirror root and has no logic that will send you to a
more specific sub folder.
