Well, I don't know about Savannah itself, but at least the download area is mirrored in different countries worldwide. I think I have heard that Savannah also had a fallback solution in Europe, but I'm not sure about that. I just know fairly sure that the FSF wouldn't like to be forced to restrict specific countries, whatever they are. If you are looking for a very similar hosting site in Europe, have a look at Gna!, which is located in France. https://gna.org/ -- AKFoerster
