Hi,
I have sent this mail to the pub-dev list, but it was rejected. Can you
redirect it to the list, I think you can write there :)
Thanks!
Bye, Christian.

Hi!
My name is Christian, I'm new to arch linux, an ex-Gentoo-user. I'm
studying computer sience at the RWTH Aachen in Germany and live there in
one of the student hostels. There I have the room to host a mirror for
this project with a connection to the DFN (our university network in Germany).
It's a connection with 100mbit, I think this is ok ;)
The point is the hardware, I only have an old P3-600 with <512MB of RAM.
The hdd is no problem, I can put an SATA controller and a hdd with
200GB into it. So is this interessting for you or is the hw to slow?
At the moment I'm mirroring the extra-repository and test the
performance the next few days. At next week I can install the hardware
in our computer room.
Bye, Christian.

That hardware should be fine. I am sure that cpu handle plenty of raw transfer. Just make sure it isn't doing much other than serving static files (http or ftp). Maybe use nginx for http, as it works well and uses little ram and cpu. Just rsync during low traffic times (like in the evening for the region you are targetting), and you should be fine.
