If I knew any institutional guys, I'd be glad to beg for space and bandwidth. Unfortunately, I don't and I doubt my home 33K up would help :p
You guys that work for companies that have excess bandwidth, it never hurts to approach the decision makers and propose a mirror. Especially if the company relies on openSuSE in anyway - they would have their very own mirror - or however you can think of to approach the issue. Worse they can say is - No.
How much space is needed? Some hosting companies tout 150GB and unlimited bandwidth for around $5.00 a month and unlimited space at $7.

I've tried a couple of those low cost vendors. I would expect a usable opensuse mirror to provide multiple GBs/hr of bandwidth minimum. My experience is vendors of this type provide Hours / GB of bandwidth. (ie. the reciprocal of what we need.) ie. Even SpiderOak whom opensuse is now partnering with in some way is only offering about half a GB/hr of bandwidth or less. (I have 300GB+ at SpiderOak and it took weeks of 24hr/day traffic to get it there.) I earlier used Dreamhost. It took several months to upload a similar amount of data to them.
