hi mike,

a mirror is most valuble where there is local demand in the region and
no existing mirror there.  please keep in mind that mirroring freebsd does
require you to commit some more resources than just a T1 - you also need
to have some disk and time available to set it up and monitor it.

a complete freebsd mirror is probably > 60G now.

that said, it's always useful to have another mirror, especially around
release times when demand usually outstrips supply.

i would recommend you look at only mirroring:

o the latest release trees (isos and binaries/source)
o the latest source tree
o the latest package tree


regards,

-jason
