Not on kernel.org, certainly. I asked the kernel.org admins a while back to send me a copy of the SHA map file from my account I needed to continue the mirror elsewhere and HPA declined, making some handwaving towards "eventually letting people download tarballs of their old accounts". As far as I know, "eventually" hasn't happened yet. I guess it's time to fire up a new mirror from scratch. It'll be incompatible with old clones due to not having the above file and various minor changes in both git and hg in the 6 years the original mirror was running. I'll announce it when it's done - it'll probably take a while. -- Mathematics is the supreme nostalgia of our time.
