the jakarta mirroring has been requested many times over the last year or more. i don't believe the current stuff is suitable to mirror (though things may have changed since and i'm wrong) because o there's no implementation for the jakarta site to point at mirrors o the builds are redone, which means you will refetch 6Gb a lot more times. regards, -jason
