Comment (by robe):

 I just had an even crazier thought to this.

 I think the speed between the servers is very fast.  It's the push out
 that is bounded.

 That said if I set up a round robin in DNS for download,  but I simply
 have osgeo3, osgeo4, osgeo9 have a redundant nginx config for download
 (have download accept all those as proxies for it), pointing back to
 osgoe7, then that might work.  I'm going to give that a try with
 bottle.download.osgeo.org.

 This of course still requires doing at the dns level - setting up for
 round robin, and will still require that folks use upload.osgeo.org for
 uploading (since that will be the only one that has ssh port open).
 Depending on which server you hit with download.osgeo.org, the ssh port
 might or might not be open.
