I've mirrored (seemingly) all the distfiles we fetch from berlios here:

http://mirror.amdmi3.ru/berlios/

so by the moment of cutoff MASTER_SITE_BERLIOS may just be changed to

http://mirror.amdmi3.ru/berlios/download.berlios.de/%SUBDIR%/
and some individual ports' Makefiles (namely slim-themes and ngircd)
tweaked.

That's only 217M, so there's no much problem.
