As long as you have recent updates for the data, it is not that bad.
However I personally detest it and rather be able to decide for myself.

As this is for download (and not so much the site itself) this is about
speed for the downloader, I assume. Even then I rather be able to select
my own mirror. I know I can have higher speeds from another country then
from my own on some servers.

So at least give the option to select during e.g. 15 seconds (or
whatever you think will be apropriate)

The example on the URL above is all that there is to it, but obviously
you must first decide which ones go where and where do the other ones go
to.
