The logical approach for hot sites like genunix.org is to make sure that the servers are fitted with enough RAM that the disks are virtually idle. I don't know how many servers are at genunix.org, but if it is just one, then it should definitely have enough RAM to store all the hot data. For example, the BeleniX 0.7.1 ISOs should definitely be in RAM. Perhaps the Genunix Stats page should be updated to list the hardware and software configuration used to serve up all those bytes.
