[arch-mirrors] questions on how to proceed for archlinux Mirror

Hello list, Just joined because I want to make an Arch Linux mirror in Costa Rica, but I am not sure if I can meet the requirements, mainly of bandwidth, here is a short story: Currently at work there is a server I no longer have use for, its an HP proliant ML110G6. I would like this server to become an Arch mirror, our Internet connection here is 9Mbps/9Mbps. Questions: - Is that bandwidth enough for a public mirror? - Will setting up this server choke my network? - Can I use the server for other stuff? say a web server for local development or backup server? - I have an Arch laptop, can I download packages from this mirror while I am at work using the private IP address? I have read [1] and [2] regarding this topic. [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Local_Mirror [2] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mirroring Regards
