We had that not too long ago.  The amount of people trying to rsync it
made the server completely unavailable and nobody got the bits.  It was
a disaster.  Too many people are just eager to "Get the latest bits"
whether they'll do useful testing with them or not, which ruins it for
the people who desperately need to verify a bug fix or sanity test a
compose.
