No, it isn't. We'd select a random default mirror. (The key is the closer.cgi functionality would be incorporated into download.html.)
Sure, you can do that. But in that case, you really do need to make absolutely sure that every mirror works every time. What I have implemented allows the user to gracefully fallback to a working mirror.
So go for it. All you need to do is implement a monitoring system for mirrors, and then your proposed shtml page. I agree it would be superior to what I have done.
Until you do that, my system is better than what we have been using.
