The term used by the OpenBSD Project is install mirror. There are mirrors offering FTP, HTTP, AFS, and RSYNC protocols.

From the bottom of http://www.openbsd.org/ftp.html:

To be listed on this page we require mirrors to be fast, up-to-date, capable, and well-connected to networks in the region in which they serve. Our policy requires mirrors to carry at least the last two releases in binary form (currently 5.2 and 5.3), snapshots, as well as the other associated directories (including OpenSSH/, OpenNTPD/, OpenBGPD/, patches/ and tools/), and keep them current; snapshots should not be older than a week. Note that in the above, "release" means all files under the specific directory (e.g. 5.3/). This includes all architecture subdirectories and the complete packages subdirectory, with packages for all application architectures. As of 5.3, the minimum space required is approximately 400GB. Depending on the disk space available, mirrors may provide more contents, such as older releases, current source tree, etc.
