I have just made a mirror for i586 and x86_64 with the updates for core,
tainted and nonfree. The size of each branch is now ~ 4.5Go

Then it is too much to be stored in a cheap DVD.
IMO, when the size of a branch reaches such a size, an updated release should
be issued. Remember that a lot of people have a slow link to internet.
Mandriva did such updated releases which all work better than the original,
improving the confidence in the distro.
Today, a woman who has installed Mageia alone and for the first time, said me
that update is so much long that she thought the distro was broken.
------------------notes------------------------
To setup my local mirror I use the script upd-mga1 which is called by crontab
# mise à jour des miroirs d'update tous les jours à 5h35
35 4 * * * /home/pierre/bin/upd-mga1 2>&1 > /var/log/upd-mga.log
35 5 * * * /home/pierre/bin/upd-mdv-2010.2 2>&1 > /var/log/upd-mdv.log
I setup the http server:
# ln -s /home/pierre/mga/upd-1/ /var/www/html/upd-mga1
Then I can use as root the script add-medias-mga on each machine to be updated
and I unselect the other updates with MCC.
If the updated machine is not mine, I unselect my mirrors and re-select
others.
