== Considerations ==
=== Bandwidth ===
To run a mirror you need a lot of bandwidth! You should look at [the total bandwidth used by all the mirrors mirrors. http://stats.sugarlabs.org/download.sugarlabs.org/].
If you have trouble with bandwidth you should look at [CloudFlare http://www.cloudflare.com].
=== HDD Space ===
Hosting a mirror takes a lot of space. If you don't have a lot of space you can only choose to mirror some parts. For example exclude all directories but the activities (~13gb):
rsync -avzh rsync://download.sugarlabs.org/pub --exclude 'dextrose' --exclude 'hexoquinasa' --exclude 'images' --exclude 'sources' --exclude 'docs' --exclude 'packages' --exclude 'soas' /rsync/download.sugarlabs.org
