Hi,

we're mirroring CPAN via rsync here too. As merlyn already pointed out, you need at least 1,3GB of free space NOW. I'd recomend at least 2.0GB as CPAN is growing and you need some overhead for logs etc.

arkab:/space/scrap/mirrors # du -s cpan
1290032 cpan
[download]

As for the time one needs for rsyncing: It's very fast. With a 2MBit line you need about 70minutes for the initial fetch. The updates are rsynced in about 5 minutes (or less) each.

Bye
