Just give me an FTP accessible directory for all SM packages so that I 
can set up a mirror for them at GSUG. When loading a package, the 
system knows the full URL, right? So mirroring only the packages should 
work, provided the SM loader looks in the backup location, too.

Additionally, a notification email would be nice to get whenever a new 
package version was added (to keep the mirror latency low).
