If it was, I didn't know of any.  I specifically stuck it in incoming/
so that I wouldn't get shot by mirror sites wondering where 2.4GB of
extra space suddenly went.

I've asked this and they don't much like the idea since it makes it
extremely hard to turn a profit at those sorts of margins.  FreeBSD is
not enough of a "volume" product that you could make enough just on
sheer quantity alone.  Frankly, we have no idea how Cheapbytes makes
any money at $4.95.
