I believe wuftpd or proftpd can support virtual hosts when multiple IP#s are present, so you can require someone to go to ftp://gcc.gnu.org to get access to /pub/gcc and ftp://cygwin.cygnus.com to get access to /pub/cygwin. Allow only mirror sites to have access to those two 'ftp sites', and ease/drop restrictions on the sourceware 'ftp site'. The problem is entirely with gcc/cygwin - reduce the ftp load of those two (both of which have extensive mirroring networks) and the bandwidth problems evaporate. FWIW I occasionally read some mailing list archives via the web on sourceware, and I can also attest that the bandwidth has gone to crap, especially of late.
