On a second thought, we could combine the download.kolab.org idea
with a single mirror being reachable as ftp.kolab.org.

ftp.kolab.org will be used in obmtool.conf (until it supports
fetching a mirror list or something), and download.kolab.org (or
kolab.org/download/) can be used everywhere else (annoucements,
links etc.) to spread the load over all mirrors.
