Goodies: - If you know which server is best for you, go directly there. - If you don't, do not send all user to a single server Problems: - Maybe cause problems if all mirrors are not sincronized Option: - Select the country and let sysinstall ping or traceroute to show the paths and rtt, and let user select the best for that instalation.
