Please make sure you contact the maintainer of that mirror before you start syncing 12GB. That rsync is actually only meant for the distfiles mirror but was never ACL protected.

I'm not too clear on who maintains that mirror now (maybe it is supposed to be me!), but the former maintainer Rob Braun told me there was no problem with people rsyncing the entire 12 GB if they wanted to. (For a time, I was keeping a private copy of distfiles on my machine -- but later I needed the disk space for something else.)
