Ask the respective mirror owners. I remember one of them objecting here to all those suse isos, he wanted less.
It is not only disk space, is ram dedicated to cache. The more "huge" files they serve, the smaller the hit ratio, and thus smaller overall performance to all clients or the server.
Ethernet is pitifully slow compared to the disk I/O of any modern computer.
This is why, despite the claims of Dell and others, file-servers can EASILY be bottom-of-the-barrel machines, and buying a top-end motherboard and CPU for that purpose is just plain wasteful and stupid.
As I say, don't ask me, ask them. They have figures of their machines perfomance, and why they do not want that many isos. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
