You suggesting having a perl related site without a mirror of CPAN ? :-) As far as I am concerned, Debian mirror would be nice, i386, alpha and sparc. Mandrake and RedHat are d/l at very nice speeds from official mirrors so it's really not neccessary to mirror them and Slackware rarelly used (as far as I know, I may be wrong), also we may mirror Gentoo as it's becoming more stable and usefull besides being a "toy" as someone mentioned earlier on Linux IL.
On the alternative, we may buy 160GB HDD and stick it at ISP's machine. That way we'll have all the space we need and it's not so expensive.
