It would be awesome if the top option for servers were "auto select
closest" or something like that.
Possibly a web server that would do the redirects for you [?] (or you
could do local pings and see which one answers quickest).  Possibly
like what VLC does for its distro's [1] or some other offering already
available.

Related, it would be nice to have a command line option for unattended
install that were "--auto-select-server" for the downloads...
FWIW.
Cheers and thank you.
