Can't we create something like pseudo-load-balancer?

It would allow to keep statistics and use different mirrors.

For example that russian mirror is quite fast compared to DM ftp.

What I propose is:

http://dlang.org/download/dmd.2.064.2/?mirror=russian.ftp
It increments download counter and redirects to mirror.
