Tonny,

I'm not able to provide any detailed statistics but some of the mirror 
administrators subscribed to the mirrors mailing list (cc'ed) reported 
some useful stats in the past. Have a look at the mailing list archives 
[1] or see the following URL for the statistics of a random US mirror:

   http://mirrors.xtria.com/awstats/awstats.pl?config=mirrors.xtria.com

Maybe someone can come up with some other stats or even help you with 
some of your other questions.

Cheers,
Erik
