[ros-users] request for help: mirroring and better wiki exporting

[Benjamin Cohen]

Brian & Felix,

How much traffic can be expected from a mirror when ros.org is working
correctly and when it's not?  I would be interested to know how much
bandwidth is expected to be used by a mirror server per month?  If it's not
too much I'll see about setting one up at penn.
