central1.website.com
west1.website.com

I would like to give the users a choice of which one to download from.

how would I properly set this up as I put the location of the file as east1.website.com/file

Would I put http://website.com/file instead?

any entry gets a primary link as always.
to use mirror sites feature you MUST have the same directory structure on your other servers.
example:
main server base url: http://server1.com/some_folder/your/directory/structure/file.name
the part "your/directory/structure/file.name" should always remain. the only thing which changes, is: http://server1.com/some_folder/
you can rewrite it with http://server2.com/some_other_folder/your/directory/structure/file.name
to have the primary link in the list, you should rewrite it with itself....
i hope it would help you
