Oh, I know what you're talking about. Fortunately the machine I'm running the German ftp mirror on has been declared as the 'official' ftp server of our university several months ago (you'll reach the identical contents via ftp.uni-duisburg.de). So I don't have to care about the radar even though I experience heavy traffic since tuesday after release. Maybe you can ask some nice guy who's running the main ftp service of your university to do the 'official' FlightGear ftp site for you ? Maybe there's someone else with lots of bandwidth, willing to set up a virtual server which gets the official 'ftp.flightgear.org' name, running a mirror twice a day ?
