I haven't been paying close attention here but are we talking about
*always* doing this when the mirror list is displayed?  If so, I don't
think it's a good idea.  Or, maybe it's only done when there has been no
default selected.

IMO, the best solution would be adding a "sort by best bandwidth" button
or something similar to the mirror display.  Then, setup can query all of
the mirrors and put the "closest" one at top.  It could save that order in
some file locally, too.
