I have no gripe against any one country, there are plenty of mirrors for
other countries (including 3 for the usa). I dont see why visitors don't use
the mirror for their country, this way, they are forced to.

Although this isn't 100% effective, this is the policy that I am currently
using:

order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from .ca .com .net .org .edu
