Unfortunately, no:

Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda14             4880298   4603325    175925  96% /sourceware/ftp

There is free disk space available on sourceware but the last time I tried
to use it, I ended up corrupting hundreds of files and spending untold
hours trying to recover.  This was due to a linux kernel bug with large
disks.

That is supposed to be fixed now but I'll let someone else be the
guinea pig if they want to use it.

So, there is no free disk space available in the short term.
