I think the directory structure should mirror exactly
ftp.postgresql.org, so I can go to ftp.xx.postgresql.org and find the
same things in the same places.  If someone wants to mirror with
arbitrary directory structure, they can do that, but since you're going
to have to go through the web page anyway they don't have to carry the
postgresql.org domain at all.

Right now, virtually no mirrors follow that rule.  Is it so hard to set
up virtual hosts on ftp servers?
