Total Mirror Size

[Moshe M. Katz]

Unless you have a *very* compelling need, there is probably no reason that
you should mirror `old-releases`, which is the 4.2TB that they are talking
about on the mailing list.
The whole point of them being moved to `old-releases` is that really no one
should be using them anymore so they were moved away to a different
location so that they would no longer need to take up space on other
mirrors.

As others have said, the main `archive` site is 1.3TB, and the `releases`
site is only another 19GB. Those are the only two that we have on
mirror.umd.edu.

Like Peter said for his mirror, we also show the size of each distribution
on our mirror homepage. Look at the end of each table row.

You should not need more than 2TB to hold everything required for a public
mirror.
