the mirror at:
ftp://limestone.uoregon.edu/pub/linux/kernel/
seems to have picked up everything up to pre-patch-2.1.120-1 as of 6pm august 28... It runs on a 12 hour cycle, and the way I have it set up at the moment it seems to be keeping up with the rapid changes relativly well...

HPA discussed this at some point. I haven't heard anything back on the issue since... part of the problem being that a full mirror is currently running around 4GB and seems to be growing by 10 or 20MB every other day at this point.
