[GLLUG] New East Lansing mirror for Gentoo, Ubuntu, FreeBSD

This is good news indeed! FreeBSD 7.0, huh? Wow, I'm really behind in
the FreeBSD world. Just a couple of quick questions:

I don't see any Ubuntu ISOs, but maybe I'm not looking in the right
place. Or perhaps you only mirror the package repositories? If so,
would there be a benefit to using this mirror in sources.list instead
of the defaults that come with Ubuntu?

Out of curiosity, what kind of bandwidth do mirrors like these
typically consume?
