Two suggestions before Trisquel 5.5 gets the final ISO

First of all, if the user is in the United States during the installer, can the default repositories be http://mirror.fsf.org/trisquel/ instead of http://es.archive.trisquel.info/trisquel/ for the sources.list? I know that during the install, it recommends to have an internet connection to pull in updates and for us yanks, the fsf.org server gives better pings than the trisquel.info ones. Especially for people like myself who live on the east coast of the US.
Second, when a user downloads a torrent on the page, can you add a magnet link as well? I know that many clients don't support magnet links directly, but it is an option. Also, with the webseeds for the torrents, can you add the http://mirror.fsf.org/trisquel-images/ mirror for each file site to it?
Here is an example of a magnet link for the 32bit version of Trisquel 5.0:
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:560853ec36ee7ab00479cc1364b475e25817eb98&dn=trisquel_5.0_i686.iso&tr=http%3A%2F%2Ftrisquel.info%3A6969%2Fannounce
I just realized this after I made the post (which I cannot edit) that us.archive.trisquel.info redirects traffic to mirror.fsf.org if it is the fastest. I didn't see this initially in the documentation anywhere but I guess another question arises... besides the FSF, what are some other US mirrors that us.archive.trisquel.info uses?
Take a look at "System/Administrations/Software sources". You can there see all mirrors of the repository and "select the best" (w.r.t. the latency I guess) by clicking on a button. Only mirror.fsf.org is in the USA.
