Absolutely! Mirrors are the way to go, and each and every time the KDE folks make a new release that's the first place I go. I go to several of them, in fact!
Several, because whenever there's a new release of KDE, the mirrors are conspicuously entirely void of any whisper of the new version that's just been announced.
This is especially frustrating, as the mirrors never seem to actually *get* the complete new fileset 'til AFTER the "everybody's downloading from the master site 'cause it's not located on any mirrors" syndrome has passed....
It'd be great if, PRIOR to the big announcements, someone made sure that at least some of the mirror sites actually had the new stuff so as to spread the load, etc. 'Til then, it'll continue to be a frustrating "catch 22"
*sigh*
