Radio buttons and check boxes should always be in a vertical list.  Horizontal 
lists of these widgets make it difficult to associate the correct widget with 
the correct label.  This is a common guideline in all interface styleguides.

I don't think many people outside software development know what Mirrors are.  
Mirrors are a kind of server, by making the term less specific more people 
will have a clue as to what it means.
