I notcie that a good number of people are too ignorant to read the documentation first, and they download ALL the files within the directory of a particular release. I bet you could save yourself and the mirrors (and the users) some bandwidth by placing all of the individual files that are included in the main tarball (e.g. gcc-3.3.tar.gz) into a subfolder called something like "separate_components". This way, most people would not download them along with the full tarball. Just a thought.
