Actualy, this brings back the question of a centralized FTP
server for the MiNT archive.  The only reason why I mailed
it is because the question still hasn't been resolved:  

Funet  - great speed for most, horribly slow for others.
Berlin - same problem, plus bandwidth and user restrictions.

The guys at Fishpool once proposed to host it; nothing came out
of it... Who will be brave enough to volunteer?

PS:  it might be a good idea that whoever volunteers, get people
     from various places on the globe to test your server speed,
     before it is selected as "the" official MiNT archive.
