I really do not believe this is necessary, maybe they want so for advertisement or something like that, because mirror brain is very efficient with the rating system and the geographical download. Also, I think that if your let the user decide where to download, it would only make the process more slow and less intuitive. Yet, a "mirrorlist" personally would be appreciated, because of acknowledgement of supporting the project, maybe on the Our Supporters page, something like "mirrors provided by: x y z" I hope I managed to explain myself correctly.
