We have heanet.ie as a mirror, I guess they are pretty good and I don't 
see the need for more mirrors.

I have been deleting some of the full planet dumps from 2007 where we 
have the diffs so that we can reconstruct them easily (keeping at least 
one full dump per month) because they were filling up the planet 
partition on the dev server.

As long as we can use hypercube courtesy to crschmid, I think we are 
pretty well off, but as soon as that changes we would need something else.
