At present it looks like it will be 26 GB plus 8 GB for dvd isos - 
although we are working on how to present those dvd isos - and it may just 
be via bitorrent and maybe rsync, unless we have a second virtual host for 
the dvd isos and only those mirrors that are capable of presenting them 
being part of that rrdns grouping.
