I have a box in the corner that provides ntp services, etc to my home
network so it is on a lot of the time.
I have a P2P client running on it and in the share directory I have all the
OOo localisations, the same for Firefox and Thunderbird, plus all the
Kubuntu disc images. The client is always taking all the bandwidth I have
allocated it.
The Italian version of OOo seems the most popular.
To be able to host all the Firefox/Thunderbird installer binaries in the
same directory, I wrote a little Perl script that downloads each localised
binary, checks the md5 sum and then renames the executeable appropriately.

At work I have a cron job that runs each day at 08h00 and copies the OOo
installer into our fileserver's public directory, so that it is always there
should anyone want it.

Repeat this sort of thing a few times and there could be many more copies
out there...
