I don't think its Jaring that its hosting it.  Its the AsiaOSC who are
hosting it, under they are under the Jaring.

Similarly depends what you want to mirror.  There are many distros, and
bsds, and in general software.

If I had it my way, I would elect to mirror Ubuntu.  Of course that
would be a bit difficult as I can tell you off the hat that if you want
to be a ubuntu mirror you need at least 20 gigs for the various CDs, and
160+ gigs for the repo itself.  This will increase shortly when the new
version of ubuntu comes out.

I don't have details for the other distros, maybe someone can pitch in
their knowledge?

Aizat
