That's great, you can arrange details at <contact at shibboleth.net>.

Bandwidth: The first 10 weeks of running such a mirror have caused
~860 MiB of incoming traffic (likely including minor package uploads)
and less than 13 GiB outgoing, according to vnstat.
Each new mirror would reduce that even further, of course.

Disk size: The current YUM archive is ~11 GB on disk. So nothing to
lose sleep over, either.
