I have considered offering a mirror site, I have several Terabytes of 
download capacity that I'm not using. But the question comes down to 
how much downloading occurs on a monthly basis, if it's too high then 
it will impact my web sites and those I host. So does anyone have any figures?

My Host ( DreamHost) has a simple solution, they throttle the traffic 
if it starts getting too much out of hand, however their limit is way 
higher than 1.5Mb, it's around 8Mb so even if someone (first time 
download of the SVN) hits it hard they will be finished a lot sooner.
