Looking at the numbers you provided, i think we should seperate the
mirrors into two groups: Binary and Source. Binary mirrors would provide
GRPs and ISOs, and source mirrors will only provide distfiles. Mirrors
could provide both, of course.
In the short term, there won't be too many binary mirrors (freeing almost
17 gigs of free space is tempting), so we should encourage mirrors that
are high on diskspace to mirror both source and binary.
In the long term, this could also rise the numbers of mirrors, as mirror
provideres will need to 'waste' less disk space on the gentoo mirror (if
they choose to only mirror one type, that is).
