I sent an email message to the contact for the mirror at the Comp Sci department here at the University of Wisconsin. See mirror.cs.wisc.edu. They are already mirroring about a million things so maybe they'd be willing to mirror speakup. I hope I haven't over stepped my bounds. I wouldn't want to offend the speakup developers.
