Nobody is saying that closer.cgi should be the only link. But it should
be the leading link. IOW, if you could say something like:

click [closer.cgi |here] to download the XXX release of Spark from
the Apache Software Foundation mirror network or [here] to download
it from Amazon's CDN it would be fine.

My biggest problem with Amazon is that it seems to disallow listing.
That said -- it doesn't matter if it become a secondary link that
you make available.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
