We don't, but we should have. For example, the /distrib/ part of the web site links to ftp.nl.d.o for a lot of stuff. Switching to cgi.d.o/cgi-bin/download.pl or something analogous should be fairly simple... but then, somebody removed that script when packages.d.o got moved out. It wasn't a particularly good script (it didn't use Mirrors.masterlist), so I could just write a better one from scratch. But this is wholly off-topic for debian-devel - please bring it up in on debian-www or even better file a bug report on www.debian.org. I only saw this by accident... -- 2.
