It is the rough size of the whole thing, which is what a lot of mirrors
carry.  You have to start somewhere.

FYI: on my mirror, I exclude the debuginfo packages (the debug/
subdirectories) because they are huge and rarely downloaded (and I
didn't have enough space for something lightly used).  I have everything
else that is on the Fedora master (versions, arches, etc.); that's using
around 465G right now.  That'll drop by as much as 130G when Fedora 15
is rolled to the archive instead of main (I don't have enough space to
mirror the archive).
