Setting up a mirror for personal use

I want to mirror the latest RELEASE for personal uses... .ISOs, base
system and packages. I'm thinking of resyncing it with whatever
source I mirror once a week or once every two weeks. It doesn't have
to be fast, bandwidth limiting is perfectly acceptable if it helps
conserve needed bandwidth for the source I mirror. I'd like to use
cvsup to mirror, but am open to something else. I'm looking for
someone who keeps a reasonably up to date repository who is willing to
let me mirror. I live in Kentucky, USA if that makes any
difference...
I'm also a little unsure how to mirror only the latest RELEASE. In
the handbook I saw a supfile example for FreeBSD-CVS, but do I just
modify the *default release line to be:
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5_4
for instance?
Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated as I have zero
experience with setting up a mirror.
