More that you'd expect.

2.6.11-mm1.gz and 2.6.11-mm1.bz2 were downloaded from kernel.org from 1729
unique IP addresses using http and from an additional 321 unique IP
addresses using ftp.

The fact that most people bother to alter the URL from ftp: to http:
perhaps means that more people than I expect also bothered to stick the
country code in there too.  Who knows...
