that estimate seems about right to me.  the tar balls/codecs packs by
far take up most of the traffic.

lately I've been toying with the idea of finding some way to control the
bandwidth consumed by those particular files some, without adversely
affecting other parts of the mirror.  presently I'm making use of the
apache module mod_bandwith (v2.0.6 with MaxConnectionPerIP patch
applied).

below is my virthost entry with the relevant section marked by XX.  It
keeps the transfers from within the releases directory to a shared
maximum rate of 200kB/s, except for files less than 1MB in size which
are left unlimited.

connections to within the releases directory are also limited to 1 per
IP because there are too many people out there using accelerators that
make several connections in order to push up their own rate at the
expense of others.
