This would be a manual step.

You're making the very big assumption that ftp.linux.org.uk _has_
the space to do this.  The fact is that disk space is short, and
the replacement server has been lost by the parcel carrier, and
the state of parcel carriers over here means that it's only
possible to recover a fraction of the value.  Yes, we know in
hind sight that it would've been better to have put it into a car
and driven it to the hosting facility, but hind sight is such a
wonderful thing.

So, _we_ _do_ _not_ _currently_ _have_ _the_ _resources_ _to_ _host_
_such_ _a_ _service_.  As I've said _three_ times in this thread so
far.

The fact is that right now there is only 10MB free for the anonymous
FTP archive.
