Mmm... turn down free disk space and bandwidth? Is that a question? :)

So far the general practice has been people  just "set up mirrors" and 
then inform the list that its up. There's some basic instructions here:
http://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/How_to_setup_a_Alpine_Linux_mirror

Most of our mirrors are in US, with one in West Coast IIRC.  I don't 
know of any DE, although we have some presence in Netherlands.

Right now we have only one instance of "ancient.a.o" - which is all the 
old stuff back to 1.1 - Currently its 85.8GB, but we'll be moving 
releases 2.3-2.7 there, which would about double that space requirement. 
  Don't know if you have 200GB disk space free for a low-bandwidth 
mirror, but I am currently looking for another public mirror of all the 
old stuff.   Ancient doesn't have rsync running on it atm.   If you are 
interested hosting it, drop me a note we'll get everything set up so you 
can follow the standard procedure.

And welcome to the list!
