Erik,

That would be awesome!  Here is some documentation regarding this:
http://www.apache.org/dev/mirrors.html
http://www.apache.org/dev/release-download-pages.html

Here is config file that the installer app loads:
http://people.apache.org/~bigosmallm/installapacheflex/ApacheFlexConfig.xml

In this xml, the element: <file name="ApacheFlexSDK" path="
http://people.apache.org/~cframpton/ApacheFlexRC/release_candidate_3/binaries/";
file="apache-flex-sdk-4.8.0-incubating-bin.zip"/>

needs to updated dynamically with the 'preferred mirror' url from the
closer.cgi script.

I hope this info is sufficient for you to start.  You might want to jump on
to infrastructure-...@apache.org (public list) if you need expert advice.

Thanks for volunteering :-)

Om
