I'll also jump on board this - http-replicator works great. You build it from your existing distfile cache. You do not need the large mirror files as many, or rather most are unlikely ever to be accessed. Build it with what you already have, and just top it up as you go - if the file isnt already in your cache, its added when you download it.
