[PLUG] Local Mirrors?

[JP Toto <viceclown@yahoo.com>]

Hi all. I was going through a new install of Gentoo the other day and 
got to thinking... does PLUG have a local mirror of any distros? If we 
do and I just don't know about it then just ignore this. If not... what 
would it take to get one up and running?

- Could we use our current hosting location where the web site is?

- Because of the inordinate amount of bandwidth required to have a local 
mirror of a bunch of distros... what costs would be incurred?

- If there are significant costs... would folks be willing to pony up a 
small membership fee annually to offset the cost of having their own 
local mirror to use for rsyncing, apt-updating, and ISO downloading?

- Is anyone available to administer such a service?

I was just curious about this stuff so I wanted to toss it out there. 
Again, if this has come up already or Im crazy you can let me know :-)

Cheers, - JP
