I'll also jump on board this - http-replicator works great. You build
it from your existing distfile cache. You do not need the large mirror
files as many, or rather most are unlikely ever to be accessed. Build
it with what you already have, and just top it up as you go - if the
file isnt already in your cache, its added when you download it.
