1 I'll also jump on board this - http-replicator works great. You build
2 it from your existing distfile cache. You do not need the large mirror
3 files as many, or rather most are unlikely ever to be accessed. Build
4 it with what you already have, and just top it up as you go - if the
5 file isnt already in your cache, its added when you download it.
