New Revision: 39304
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/doc/39304

Log:
  - Move the note about mirrors above the table with links so there is a
    better chance that people will see it and use a mirror.
  - Many people will also download from HTTP for ftp.freebsd.org
    content, so note that in the mirror text.
  - amd64 is now quite common for all new systems, so also point people
    at that.
