Hmm.  They have gotten better since the last time I visited.  I've had 
all kinds of trouble (missing archives, directories not mounted,
broken gzips, you name it) besides the slows and the late mirrors.
The last two have been fixed, evidently, and I would guess so have the 
troubles, too.  It's been nearly two years....

They obviously still haven't gotten the idea that you should notify
primaries when you make mirrors, though :-(

Full kit?  Probably a few GB.  The primary site keeps everything for
about 5 years back....
