The problem is this: you go to www.freebsd.org, you see a menu item on
the left saying "Getting FreeBSD".  (That's the only such link on the
page.)
Click on that, you go to
  http://www.freebsd.org/availability.html
which has a section "where to get it" and a line "For more
information on obtaining FreeBSD, please see..."  Again, that's
the only such link there.
Click on that, and you reach
  http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors.html
which has no mention of FreeBSDMall.

As you say, other handbook sections do seem to mention it.  But that's
not what you reach by clicking in the obvious places.

As to the thing at the bottom left of www.freebsd.org: that looks like
a banner add which many people like me are trained to filter out
subconsciously :)
