... most of which is bagage, from the mirror point of view.
-- After three days of continuous mirroring I now have +/- 2 GB :-(.
-- 75% is jakarta stuff (more to come), with almost everything
in 3 copies (.zip, .tar.gz, .tar.Z)
-- each package present in scores of (sub) versions
If what is to come is like what I can see now,
I think it is fair to say that for a mirror,
only a few percent of the archive is relevant.
