South American people are sent your way (when you are in mirrorlists),
as we don't have enough mirrors in .cl, .br, .ar and .cr - these are the
lists you're in besides .us

We are in the same rack at mirror.hosef.org, and over the last few years we've gotten traffic from all over. It seems a fair exchange. I believe discussion threads exist in the archives that address this concern via yum for those who want to hard code their local mirror to the local clients they manage.

Not with our current setup, no.

You're only getting listed for the two american continents, and that
happens on a random basis for everyone.

If your mirror's traffic patterns remain similar to ours, and you continue to mirror the same distros, you'll find the CentOS traffic is heaviest for its ISO's and DVD's, but is still eclipsed by a few of the other distros we host. For the bandwidth and hardware you have, it should not be a concern. We have served more, with less, for some time now. The 4.x series is still steadily sought.
