As the current infra is right now, not really, even with fixes i
wouldn't go for it.
That's because the tarball naming is fixed (no hash, timestamp or
anything) and they change at least daily, so an old
sources.buildroot.net copy/mirror could be really old.
Even if we can say "don't mirror it" the same can happen to people with
their local copy.
Regards.
