If a site is aptable, then they will probably be using the same convention
as ftp.debian.org, i.e., putting arch-specific stuff in binary-arch
directories.  Unfortunately I just had a look at the Helix mirror on
aarnet, it doesn't appear to have any non-i386 packages for either Debian
or Redhat.

But not to worry, apt-get -b source may be what you need.
