If it is going to be a publicly available mirror which you intend to keep up-to-date, I would ping one of the Red Hat developers first (snag one of the guys in bugzilla). They may be able to open up their QOS settings (e.g. similar to the Instant ISO access) to allow you to pull it down faster and give you some guidance on how the other sanctioned mirror sites are keeping up-to-date. Here are some links on how the other distros are doing it, since Red Hat does not seem to offer this info readily.

I know debian has rsync available. Should I just run mirror and be done with it, or is there some reason this is not desired? -- Thomas DuVally Lead Sys. Prog.
