I think it would be nice in general to be able to mirror at least hackage.haskell.org. Something like rsync would be close to ideal for this purpose.
Reasons I would like to mirror hackage: 1 - Provide alternative when the main hackage is down 2 - Access to the sources of all uploaded packages for analysis purposes
It would be also interesting to have alternative upload servers. That's certainly more complicated, but I know that the AmiNet manages this problem, e.g.: http://de.aminet.net/ The secondary upload servers queue the uploads and forward it to the main server, when it is available.
