I get between 50 - 150 packages updated each day for just i386. Or do you mean there are 100 new versions? DpartialMirror handles new versions of packages (sources and deps) in a way it save about 1% even when the packages are normal gzip'ed. It would save around 10% - 50% with rsyncable. Is there any plan to add this feature to mirrored? O.
