Heya,

I knocked together a rather simple script which resorts download
locations according to their geographical distance from your computer,
using GeoIP. You will always download the distfile from the nearest
mirror now.

It's more of a demonstration than practical thing, since the nearest
mirror is not always the fastest one, and the needed database of
locations is commercial.

Who's interested in the idea, feel free to check out

Comments welcomed.
