The task is not trivial at all. If I create a LiveCD for example, which is only a 8MB download, just being a kernel image + libc and some app, then finding a host for that 8MB is no issue at all. BUT providing the Linux kernel source and GNU libc sources _is_ a problem.
And I honestly thought providing just the changes would be alright. The chances that my tiny server goes down are _much_ larger then that the kernel.org site and all of its mirrors go down. So, please, why wouldn't a reference to a specific kernel version + a<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.diff be enough?
