Thanks for thinking about being a Fedora mirror.

Looking at my mirror the full tree is currently around 670GB, so for a
full mirror you need at least 700GB and I would expect that it keeps
growing. You can, of course, only mirror certain parts and our setup
will only redirect clients to your mirror for the bits you have.

And you also need bandwidth, but is sound like you have probably have
enough of that.

If you decide to mirror Fedora please use a tier 1/2 mirror[1] close to you;
create an account in the MirrorManager[2]; register your mirror in the
mirror manager; enter your local netblocks in the mirror manager (if
desired); run report_mirror[3] and as soon as you are listed in the database
as up to date yum (and other clients) will be redirected to your mirror.

All this information can be found in more details in the wiki at:

If there are any more question do not hesitate to ask.
