Seeing that you' re from Chile, FYI: There is a mirror in Chile http://linux.inf.utfsm.cl/fedora/linux/releases/ However, I decided to ask to this list about the space requirements after reading the following: /// http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/Mirroring#How_can_someone_become_a_public_mirror.3F "Mirror sites have at least a 100Mbit/sec* connection to the Internet, many have Gigabit or larger pipes. As of the Fedora 8 release, the total space consumed on the master server, thus what a mirror could consume, is 1.1TB and growing. ***A 1-2TB volume would be most appropriate for a long-term mirror***. " /// However, by looking at the Brazilian mirror I see they start with FC13 so that gives me hope that perhaps rules are more relaxed and someone can indeed become a mirror / repo by just having the last two supported releases instead of the whole archive. Brazilian mirror: http://fedora.c3sl.ufpr.br/linux/releases/ May I suggest, then, that the text at /wiki/Infrastructure/Mirroring#How_can_someone_become_a_public_mirror.3F be updated to make this distiction that having a "1.2 TB to 2TB volume" is NOT an indication of what MUST be stored for one mirror to qualify as an official public mirror?
