How to create a small fortune: Start with a LARGE fortune, and run a mirror paying for data movement. This isn't a bandwidth number, but it will give you some idea: /var/www/ftp/pub/OpenBSD $ du -hs snapshots/ 49.4G snapshots/ Most of that will get replaced a few times a month. If you are paying for data transfer in or out, you don't wont want to be running a mirror unless you are trying to burn off some cash. If that's your goal, I can think of some better ways to do it. :) You can't run a good mirror if you are worrying about how much data is going in or out of it. (the world doesn't need another bad mirror). On the other hand...if your issue is data RATE rather than data TRANSFERED, you can just pick a slow (for you) source...but that will mean your mirror lags higher-order mirrors a bit. Nick.
