About $70 a month if it's a 2RU or smaller box.

I'm planning to drop a second server into ArachNet's racks soon. If I can 
negotiate free after-hours traffic, I'll mirror anything you please on it, 
but WAIX-only for leeching. (-:

One thing I will guarantee up front is that it carries Mandrake stuff 
(including old distros, ISOs, updates and Cooker), Knoppix, GNUWin2 and other 
things I use often. If there's some point in so doing (ie, if UWA aren't 
already doing a better job), I'll add the Debian things as well. Another is 
that you'll be able to get at it all through FTP, HTTP and rsync.
