I've created a little diagram how I think the download has to work:

As it seems we cannot go on like we did with OOo the JS magic has to
change a bit, how to recognize the language, OS and country to assemble
the nearest mirror server + file name to get the download URL.

Marcus,
One thing I would like to ask. That the user _not_ be offered a file
that does not exist. We both saw that with the OOo system to many times.
From non-existent "with JRE" plus "language" to versions for Blackberry.

For the case of an unavailable mirror I've added the "File exists on
mirror?" box. Here the non-exisiting URL should be catched and exchanged
with a working one.
But for the special things like OOo on Blackberry we need to catch such
kind of impossibilities earlier. Maybe right after the user agent was
read and it's clear if it's for Windows, Linux, Mac, Solaris or indeed
something different.
Thanks for the hint.
Marcus
