These 4 arches all take <3 days or so for a package build: 39.9G i386 46.4G amd64 34.5G aarch64 25.4G sparc64 146G total Then there are files from base plus the other slower package arches, and stable packages and releases every now and again. Not particularly carefully calculated but if a mirror can't sustain an average of somewhere around 6Mb/s for fetches (bearing in mind for many mirrors these are fairly high latency links and the tuning of OpenBSD's tcp stack isn't the best in the world for coping with this) they aren't going to keep up. And of course even if they normally cope then a network problem somewhere can drop it below the speed needed to keep in sync.
