US-based rsync sites?

[Erik Gault]

Ken Smith is the Mirror Coordinator right now, he'll most likely
answer whether another .us.freebsd.org mirror is needed or not as
soon as he sees your email.

The sizes I mentioned are of course for the ftp mirror.  The space
for the other mirrors is trivial in comparison, about 4.5GB for
cvsup:

cvsup2# du -d1
398454  ./obj
2313926 ./ncvs
263518  ./www
549022  ./gnats
1169332 ./mail
6       ./cvsupin
4694260 .

A web mirror is basically just the contents of the "www" directory
under cvs, although for practical purposes if you put the web mirror
on the same box as the cvsup mirror you'll probably want to build
the web pages that are actually served from the contents of the
"www" cvs directory nightly so you'll end up with two copies at
about 260MB each.

Also make sure you realize being a cvsup mirror (running cvsupd)
will put a pretty substantial cpu load on the box depending on how
many clients you want to support and is a completely different thing
than simply mirroring the contents of the cvs directories in your
ftp archive.
