I don't know about bandwidth, though I have small mirror here.
If you want to setup mirror you should either rsync it from other
official mirrors
or (to get new versions faster) rsync from archlinux.org, but in that
case you should contact devs (write a message to arch ML or Support
Request on bugtracker) so they'll allow rsync access from your IP.
As for size - complete mirror takes 12GB.

Reported in bugtracker and assigned to maintainer already. ;-)
