My half-italian genes kicked in and I wrote a somewhat unpolite email
telling "oh rly?" ;) and pointing at export restrictions legalese in
the apache.org site too (that they mirror), along with the CentOS
discussion.

Result: he apologized and told me there would be a local mirror during
the week. :)
I also suggested them they could mirror it from Chilean or Brazilian
existing mirrors so there would be no connection to US based
servers...

Sometimes carrying a hatchet works. ;))
