mirroring archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu with rsync

I'm in the process of setting up a local mirror of
archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu so that I can update all of my ubuntu
machines quickly (with packages from from universe and restricted as
needed).
What I've done is set up a web server and then, from within the root
webserver directory run the command:
rsync -avz rsync://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu ./ubuntu
Which created a folder named ubuntu and a bunch of subfolders within it
(a mirror of archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu). I can then set up synaptic on
each ubuntu machine to point to the local repository (in my case
http://192.168.0.2/ubuntu).
That's all working fine and I have main and restricted mirrored. I'm
about halfway through getting universe mirrored (my net connection is
spotty so it's taking some time, which is one of the reasons for
creating a local mirror in the first place), but I am running out of
disk space on my server. I have access to extra hard drives, but my
question is this:
What is the size of the repository at archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu ?
I might have enough space on the current drive, and if so, that would
be preferred.
Thanks.
