Note that cvsup drops down to rsync protocol if the source is not a CVS 
repository.  So, there may be no advantage in the change.

Maybe Matrix Internet.  They have an IBM Shark file server with lots of disk 
space.  I may say that UFRJ does not have full mirror, and really doubt Unicamp 
has too.

Maybe your best chance is traceroute to all tier-1 mirrors and select the one 
with most bandwidth available.
