mirrors.fp.o now supports metalinks [1]. metalinks are XML documents that act like a yum mirrorlist, but with more detail, allowing client download tools to more easily select a mirror that will be fastest for them.
Just as you have the BitTorrent, Direct Download, and Jigdo columns now, I'd like to consider adding a Metalink column.
It's easy to get the metalink URL for a given download.fp.o ISO URL.
http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/test/10-Beta/Fed...
becomes
http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?path=pub/fedora/linux/releases/tes...
(e.g. s:download:mirrors:, s:pub(.*):metalink?path=pub$1: )
Let me know if you have any questions. If you wanted to add them to the 10-Beta download page now, that'd be fine with me too.
Thanks, Matt Fedora Mirror Wrangler.

Are these links supposed to work in Firefox (at least for testing)? I get "# Server Error" when I click on it in Firefox.

There was some MirrorManager work done yesterday, are you still seeing this issue?
