These reasons:

   Server maintenance drains grml developer time.  Easier to rsync and
   let others babysit servers.

   Grml project pays for bandwidth that could be free -- or, relies on
   university resources that will not last forever as folks graduate,
   school policies change, etc.

   Bandwidth could be much larger and better distributed.

   Current mirrors are geographically concentrated (single point/region
   of failure).  FYI Sourceforge recently opened a mirror in Australia
   and has numerous mirrors in the United States.  To my knowledge grml
   has none in these regions.
