Most of the time, space isn't the issue; bandwidth is the limit.  I rate
limit my server to 35-45 megabits per second (the rate varies over the
day).  When a release rolls around, it'll peg that limit for a week or
more.

As for size: I mirror everything (except the debug packages) for i386
and x86_64.  I only keep "current" releases (so I removed FC1 recently
for example).  Right now, I see:

22817868  core/2
21012672  core/3
6984676   core/development
4         core/test
8451904   core/updates
3679096   extras/3
16        extras/development
31552     extras/testing

I haven't decided if I'll add the PowerPC arch when it becomes a "core"
arch (i.e. releases are built along side i386 and x86_64).  I probably
will if I have the disk space.
