I think I'd agree with Simon, with the addition of 4.X related links
to the list in where.html. If the primary links we provide don't work
for some reason (max connects reached, unbearably slow, etc) the user
could just click the back button, select the list of mirrors link, and
they're on their way. If there are any difficulties with ftp.freebsd.org
with the current setup what to do as a workaround isn't easy for someone
to figure out given the pathway they used.
IMHO of course.
