mirror sites

[Gabor Szabo]

Ladies and Gentleman,


I am talking with one of the larger ISPs here in Israel and trying to convince them to provide us with a box and bandwidth to mirror some stuff we would like.
They asked me to write a nice letter for the marketing department
where I explain why is it good for them to provide such a mirror.

So without going into the technical explanation that they will
save on international incomming traffic while they might pay with increased outgoing traffic on the IIX I'll need your help in the marketing speak.

I need actually help in two things:

1) Marketing speak why is it good for the ISP to provide mirrors
of various Open Source projects.

2) A list of things you think they should mirror along with their size.
e.g. I think this could be used to setup a full debian mirror
AFAIK and I don't use it what we have now is a partial mirror.
It could be ftp.il.debian.org - a primary mirror.

The question of course what do you ppl think is needed ?

CPAN - of course I'll tell them (1.3 Gb)

regards

Gabor
