ISTM that many download pages adopt essentially the same layout -- one row per mirror. Do you really think ours scales worse?

Yes, because we already have multiple rows per mirror - one for each release.

Yes, but most other download pages do that, too. Anyway, we can improve on what others do rather than following their lead. :) Working on it now.

@marmarek: Would you prefer one row per release with an additional mirrors section? If so, should the single row link to mirrors.kernel.org?

IMO there should be one row per download type: HTTP, Torrent. Then yes - additional mirrors section, with a link to that section easily visible (near/in "source" column? like: source: mirrors.kernel.org; see other mirrors).
As for the main link - mirrors.kernel.org seems good.

Thanks to RWTH Aachen University generosity we've just got one more mirror: http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/qubes/
Our current "downloads" page doesn't scale well for multiple mirrors, so I think we need some better layout there. Or just just additional section with mirrors list.
