He'll go to ftp-archive.freebsd.org or whatever (which will point to
a cluster of mirrors with those bits).

But if you make it really painfree to start mirroring the whole
"primary" mirror it would be easier to get lots of mirrors. Most of
the bandwidth goes to the .iso's anyway and those are what there
should be lots and lots and lots of mirrors of (so the bandwidth
cost per site goes down).
