Ok.  I've made a few updates to this page:
http://www.apache.org/info/how-to-mirror.html

Including:
- Current apache-dist size up to 5GB.
- Recommend 2-4 updates per day.  It seems our developers are too
impatient to wait 24 hours for stuff to get out to the mirrors.
- Remove the recommendation to sync between 8am and noon GMT, since apache
bandwidth usage is really pretty constant through the day.  See:
http://www.unitedlayer.com/customerbw/apache
- Clarify that http mirrors are preferred.
- Clarify that you must host your own logo.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Joshua.

it might be useful to make this explicit on the how-to-mirror.html page,
either as "requirement" or in the introduction paragraph.

there is already "we strongly recommend that you run the Apache HTTP 
Server version ..."
but it can be read "we strongly recommend http mirror, based on apache" 
as well as
"if you provide http mirroring we recommend apache".

Thanks.  This has been added.  But I'll note again that we much prefer
http mirrors.  I won't even add the logo to our database, since ftp
mirrors are never selected as "preferred" mirrors, and hence never get
their logo displayed.
