Sure.. I think gentoo already does this for sourceforge mirrors etc.. There are a lot of ftp file search engines ( using a hash you would know that you got the wrong one).. There are different services such as http://findfiles.com/ as well. I think d4k has a list of about 6 .. But I would have to recheck. So yes, it is possible but I don't know about wether it has been implemented yet.
