Thanks.

I know how to use rsync, set up a server (not even needed in
my case) etc. The interesting info is what should be excluded.

It may be a good idea to provide a full repo / top level directory
list for a tier-1 mirror (or a link to it if already available on
the wiki) so users can create a complete --exclude-from list from
the start instead of incrementally adding to it when they discover
they are downloading things they don't need. I know you can use
rsync to get such a listing, but still.
