Thats is a very nice idea. Hope we can replicate it here too.

[root at mirror ~]# du -h /var/www/html/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/ | tail -n 1

[root at mirror ~]# du -h /var/www/html/pub/fedora/linux/updates/8/ | tail -n 1

> synchronize every two weeks
Around 2-3Gbs but may vary according to times update pushed.

> 100 regular users per university

Thats a tricky question.
If you have a mirror at each university, then that will cater to all
the internal needs.
And if you do restrict serving only to your country there should not
be too much external traffic.
(If you don't, expect *all* bandwidth to be consumed, no matter how
big your pipe is.)
We have a public mirror here and we got 1 million requests in 12 days !!!
