Hi, I've now marked your mirror as gone so it won't be included in 
mirrorlist.centos.org output any more (after the next mirror crawler 
run), nor will it be listed on the download page. You are still allowed 
to sync from msync.centos.org to provide a smooth mirror shutdown. I set 
the IP address to expire two months from now, I think this will be 
sufficient.

By default yum will cache the list of mirrors for 24 hours, so you 
should be seeing a minimal amount of traffic in a few days. It is 
possible that someone has explicitly set baseurl to point to your 
mirror, but there's nothing anyone can do about it, except for the 
admins of those systems. If you leave your mirror running for a week 
it's probably fine, but if the reduced amount traffic does not bother 
you, you can keep it running for a while longer. You can check your web 
server logs and draw your own conclusions about the traffic.

Thanks for the notice, and thanks for the bandwidth you have provided!
