I'm not sure what limited space you mean. We already have Wine Gecko on
SourceForge and a redirecting script on source.winehq.org, which is used
for automated downloads. AFAIK this way we don't have any limitations
and, as far as Wine packages are concerned, we don't depend on any
specific external mirror provider.
