After I had to cycle through about 20 mirrors to get the source for the new gimp-1.2.4, I ran a little script over the gimp mirror list.
Result:
The following 9 (nine) mirrors offer the directory that is supposed to hold the gimp tarball:
ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub ftp://ftp.au.gimp.org/pub/gimp/ ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/graphics/gimp/ ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/sci/graphics/packages/gimp ftp://SunSITE.sut.ac.jp/pub/archives/packages/gimp/ ftp://ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp/pub/graphics/tools/gimp/ ftp://ring.asahi-net.or.jp/pub/graphics/gimp/ http://ring.asahi-net.or.jp/pub/graphics/gimp/ ftp://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/gimp
The other 40 (forty) mirrors don't work.
Most hosts say that the directory .../gimp/v1.2/v1.2.4 doesn't exist. Some other error messages are:
curl: (7) No route to host (mirror ftp://ftp.progsoc.uts.edu.au/pub/)
curl: (10) the username and/or the password are incorrect (mirrors ftp://stef.u-picardie.fr/mirror/ftp.gimp.org/ and ftp://ftp.ameth.org/pub/mirrors/ftp.gimp.org/)
