Unfortunately, nothing new that i have not already tried. Webmin has a
FileManager module, so i already have an idea what files are consuming
space, its just that for a mirror that has been running for a while, i
cant find anything else to be consuming the space other than the
packages. And i cant (wont) stop the mirror. 
there was nothin in the /var/..../cache/.../archives

Still stuck as ever,
