Florian,

        Django has support for GeoIP. We could use this information and
        return different mirror lists based on the ip of the client
        accessing the mirror list page. Most likely (but not always) the
        servers on the person country are faster than the others.

        I was thinking the same regarding the score, keep it for our own
        metrics, but not use it for sorting. If we can leverage GeoIP with
        it, it would be great. Otherwise, a random list is ok by me, even
        though it might not be great for the users.

Cheers,
Giancarlo Razzolini
