+It depend how many iso you want to upload to mirrors. But 8GB per night
+added to rpm delta is far too much for mirrors (BTW no problem on
+distrib-coffee side).
+
+I do think uploading one per weeks during the night (France Time) must
+be enough for most of people. And this can be handled by mirrors.
+
+Notice that you're afraid by IO cause iso generation, but it this server
+serve isos via rsync/http/ftp/whatever, this will cause also a lot of
+IO.
+
+Another solution is too push such iso to valstar and make them
+availlable from there.
+
+Regards.
