Although I made the first suggestion of the direct download link in the
home page alla Mozilla, I can see why it would be problematic.
Maybe it would be better if the link with OS detection redirects to a
better organized and minimalistic download page, based on the
information of the browser and OS.
Then, in that download page, the user will read the information about
that specific package, and all the kinds of disclaimers needed.
If the locale of the browser is also readed by a proper script, that
page could show the download link of the localized help file, and could
list the most appropriate mirrors for that location.
About the mirrors: The current listing of mirrors is quite extense. I
think it would be nice if the countries listing is collaped into a
single level list, with the posibility to expand an item to "discover"
the available mirrors. Even the countries can be grouped by continents
to keep the main level of the list simple.
This kind of "dynamic" listing could be achieved with CSS or Ajax
without problems.
