i386 and source. Potato, woody and sid. Free, non-free, and contrib. Miscellaneous overhead files. Rsync'd every night with --links, --delete, and --delete-excluded, so there's nothing extra in there. * I quote the Debian web site (http://www.debian.org/mirror/size): > How big is the Debian FTP site? > > Numbers on this page are from the archive as of 21 January 2002. > > the whole thing > Roughly 40 GB. > Debian 2.2 (current stable release, `potato') > Roughly 9 GB. > a released architecture (from stable, testing and unstable) > ranges from 2.6 GB to 4.2 GB (roughly) > an unreleased architecture > on average 1.5 GB and growing I also point you to the obligatory size graph. http://ftp-master.debian.org/~mmagallo/ Here's the size breakdown of my top two directory levels. central-services /debian> du -h debian | grep -v '/.*/.*/' 200k debian/doc/FAQ 2.0M debian/doc/package-developer 5.2M debian/doc 3.1G debian/dists/potato 272k debian/dists/potato-proposed-updates 55M debian/dists/sid 205M debian/dists/woody 104k debian/dists/woody-proposed-updates 3.3G debian/dists 4.3M debian/indices 329M debian/pool/contrib 12G debian/pool/main 642M debian/pool/non-free 13G debian/pool 12k debian/project/trace 312k debian/project/a.out_upgrade 17M debian/project/dpkg 196k debian/project/experimental 196k debian/project/misc 17M debian/project 940k debian/tools 16G debian Here's the breakdown of source vs. binary sizes.

I have the hurd-i386 architecture .debs for 430 Mb, and some files called .udeb for all architectures for 15 Mb. -- Bob Miller K<bob> kbobsoft software consulting http://kbobsoft.com [EMAIL PROTECTED]
