Don't whine, make a new mirror with both. I thought about making ftp.de.kernel.org, but when I heard that I would have to mirror all the archive, I decided against it. While we are a major university with about 50 GB for the whole FTP server, it would be unreasonable to expect us to mirror the whole archive when >90% is redundant.
First, I would only mirror the bz2 stuff, because network usage is paid for by traffic, and international traffic is more expensive. Secondly, I would only mirror the latest .tar.bz2 kernel, the others can be reconstructed by backwards patching.
