A Question about redesigning VLC Download page

I've noticed that the ftp mirros links in "VLC for Windows Download Page" are the same for all downloadable file types.

I'm thinking of creating a form with radio buttons or select list to minimise the amount of data on the page.
is it acceptible?

example:

Code: Select all

Select the file to download (Select browse for more file types or versions): O Windows self-extracting package - vlc-0.8.5-win32.exe (7.9MB) O Windows 7zip packages - vlc-0.8.5-win32.7z (6.9MB) O Windows ZIP packages - vlc-0.8.5-win32.zip (6.9MB) O Browse FTP to find other or older versions Choose Download source from the folowing list: [here comes a select element or another radio button list] [submit button]

Well it would require the user to think before being able to download :) These lists should be kept as is for the time being (we're thinking about having a single link per item and then chosing a random mirror)
