The way I read it, offering the source code for download is only an option if the binaries are distributed as a download as well: Section 3: "If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code." If you distribute the binaries on a physical medium, say, a CD or within a router that contains the Linux kernel, pointing to a download site is not enough, much less if it's an upstream source. But I wouldn't think the GPL police will go after you if you occasionally make copies non-commercially and hand them to friends...
