Yes folks do mirror all of PyPI, but it’s not as simple as storage == bandwidth. The price of the bandwidth is paid generally when the file is uploaded so deleting doesn’t reduce the bandwidth demands of existing mirrors. It *does* increase the bandwidth demands of a brand new mirror, but a single full mirror represents 0.089% of the total monthly bandwidth of PyPI and there are no indications that there are significant numbers of new mirrors being added regularly to where it would even matter. — Donald Stufft _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
