Hi,

If you want to log ftp mirror selections, then it'll need to go back to being a php script on one server, giving us a single point of failure on perhaps the second most important part of the site (next to the front page).

In fact the mirror selection page now *should* be a dynamic page on one 
server only (and that's the main reason I am so concerned about that 
server's performance). In any other case you'll *not* be able to use 
ip2country.

But current implementation of mirror selection will not give any useful 
stats: it will only show how many people went to an FTP mirror, not 
whether they actually downloaded something.
