Then let me explain in more detail.

Our mirror ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de is listed at
http://www.debian.org/CD/http-ftp/. However, I know that many users do
not care about mirrors but instead just take the first (official)
mirror.

Since we have a lot of spare bandwidth, we'd like to pitch in here. For
that, we'd like you to add our server to the HTTP redirector
behind cdimage.debian.org. Currently, this redirector only redirects to
(a) swedish mirror(s).

Basically we want to have behaviour similar to the Ubuntu project.
There, you go to ubuntu.com, click on 'download CD' (or so) and the
server actually providing the file is chosen randomly from a list of
current mirrors (including ours). That way, we serve a lot of Ubuntu CDs
without users actively picking our mirror.

PS: Please explain to me how you could confuse my mail with a user's
question regarding CD downloads...

Best regards,
