No.

The GPL sez (section 3):

    If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
    access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
    access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
    distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
    compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

In other words, wherever you are offering the binary for download, you 
need to offer the source code in the same place.

Peace,
Gabriel
