Regarding sourceforge:

1) Sourceforge has an extensive set of mirrors, which the fink bindist
could be taking advantage of, I'm pretty sure, although probably to do
this we need another configuration setting someplace.

Well I would not call their mirror system extensive, because in my eyes it is still pretty small. Yes, we should take advantage of existing solutions though and it might be very smart to contact sourceforge and arrange those special agreements so that we can benefit from it.
Who is our sourceforge Contact and who could arrange this?

2) It's probably also possible to allow others to mirror the bindist.
At the time the change in bindist location was made last summer, we
were not aware of anyone mirroring it (in spite of a public offer to
do so having been in place for almost a year).  If you think its
important for us to offer this service, submit an item to the "feature
request tracker".

To be honest, I am discussing this with you guys here, because I do not want this to be a solitary effort, I want us all to agree on it. I find it very important to offer the interface and rather than entering something in a request tracker which will be looked at now and then or not at all, I will go and contact sourceforge to get things arranged. I do not wish to sound rude, harsh or power hungry, but I am a person who likes to get things done, not simply mention them somewhere

3) By special arrangement, we are not bound by the sourceforge size
limits.

I was never really concerned about that, sourceforge can be happy to have us, since we drive a lot of traffic toward their site, they will most likely always be corporative.
