I have been the administrator of ftp.it.debian.org since a long time, and I notice there are many sites doing nightly mirrors for their own use. Mirroring is free for them because it's done at night when offices are empty and there is nobody downloading porn, but the aggregated traffic is significant for me! They could save bandwidth and disk space just by using a correctly configured squid cache. -- ciao, Marco
