which would also offend the FHS, section 5.1

  "Applications must generally not add directories to the top level of
  /var.  Such directories should only be added if they have some system-
  wide implication, and in consultation with the FHS mailing list."

but sure, i am splitting hairs. you are free to do what you want, as
Joey pointed out.

i'd suggest /var/cache/mirrors or /var/spool/mirrors though. or placing
it straight into the /var/www hierarchy. (/var/www itself however
offending the FHS in my opinion).
