That is quite impressive.
The other question is - how many such mirrors are there at the moment that we could use at a similar tier. I know kernel.org have been great friends of the project, and they have machines spread around the world[1] - so if the are willing, we can use their setup. We would still need atleast a dozen or so more machines that can push at greater than 400mbps on demand.
I've no objections, and as I mentioned earlier there are already a number of other mirrors syncing directly from me. I've got a tier2 rsync module in place already for CentOS so this would mainly be a matter of populating the username/passwords for the module and getting those shipped off to those who request access. That would get you another 4gbps (currently) and quite a bit more geographic diversity.
